Congratulations to our latest cohort of Aspirant Managers Corporate Services, who completed their journey last week - with so many participants showing potential and an enthusiastic willingness to have a go.

Over the past few months, participants have built practical leadership skills for school corporate services roles – from governance and people leadership to decision-making.

Just as importantly, they’ve learned alongside peers, shared experiences and grown the confidence needed to step into management roles.

Well done to each participant on the commitment you’ve shown and the effort you’ve put in. We’re excited to see where you take these skills next and the difference you’ll make in your workplaces.
