We are thrilled to offer a number of innovative programs and opportunities for professional development that ensure our staff are at the forefront of their profession.
Leadership Opportunities
The College offers three internal, contemporary leadership programs:
Colloquium
Includes, one off leadership sessions for all staff, provision of tools designed to inspire, challenge and discover leadership traits, and collaborative sessions amongst staff for honest, open reflection and support.
Incrementum
This two-year program is designed for aspiring and emerging leaders. Organised as an eight-part series, Incrementum builds staff capacity for future leadership opportunities.
Nutrio
Provided for staff already in a formal leadership position, the Nutrio program partners participants with a leadership coach to work alongside and guide them in creating sustainable change to behaviours or ways of thinking.
Early Career Teachers’ Program
Iona Presentation College offers a formal Early Career Teachers’ Program that works to support, nurture and prepare early career teachers to flourish in their vocation. These teachers are provided additional opportunities to learn, to be mentored and to be supported whilst in the rigours of their initial teaching years.
K-12 Middle Leaders Development
As a united Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 College, all Middle Leaders (teaching and/or support staff) are provided with opportunities to build their capacity, skills and knowledge through combined Professional Development workshops which are held each term. Staff across campuses come together to collaborate, learning from each other and maximising their experience.
Digital Innovation
In conjunction with the College's Vision for Learning, staff are selected to receive one-on-one coaching from Iona’s highly skilled, Director of Learning Technologies. In these targeted sessions, staff are educated to find new ways to leverage technology in their teaching, which has shown to have exceptional outcomes for our students. Regular Digital Innovation workshops also provide tangible learning experiences to explore, and techniques to truly capitalise on the wonder of the 21st century learning tools at their disposal.
Whole Staff Professional Development
Over a series of days throughout the year, the College provides a contemporary and tailored Professional Learning Program that advances all staff towards achieving their learning goals. Consisting of opportunities to set personalised targets, to opportunities to collaborate with peer mentors who are there to support their individual learning journeys. These professional learning days are aligned with the College's Strategic Plan and provide a focus for the future direction of Iona Presentation College.
Individual Development
All staff are provided with access to the incredible suite of professional learning opportunities available through Catholic Education Western Australia, as well as a number of other world-renowned organisations.
