Become a Mentor for Principals

The Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership is seeking expressions of interest from retired principals to become a mentor as part of the Principal Mentoring Program.

Mentors play a critical role providing principals with first-hand experience and an understanding of the exciting, unique and challenging aspects of the role.  

As a mentor, you will support mentees in gaining:

• improved emotional wellbeing.

Additionally, as a mentor, you will:

• continue your contribution towards education and improving student outcomes  
• gain new skills and insights from your mentee   
• gain opportunities for self-reflection to grow both personally and professionally  
• develop partnerships and network with other like-minded retired principals. 

Mentor requirements
