Wednesday 21 January 2026·3:30 pm
Effective governance isn't just about structure, it's about creating the conditions for schools to grow, adapt, and lead with confidence Through open discussion and real examples, panellists will unpack what effective oversight looks like in practice: how it supports stronger decisions, clearer accountability, and a culture that empowers people to do their best work every day. Attendees will gain practical insights and fresh ideas to take back to their organisations, helping them shape governance that not only ensures compliance, but also drives meaningful, sustainable improvement across their communities.
