The School Improvement, Leadership and Policy program advances context-responsive, co-designed research to strengthen school leadership, organisational practice and system improvement across diverse settings. It integrates professional learning, HDR cohort supervision and evidence-informed policy and practice to address persistent schooling challenges, such as workforce sustainability, leadership development and equity. Leveraging an innovative industry-linked doctoral cohort model as a research infrastructure, the program will enable context-responsive, scalable and practice-embedded enquiry in close partnership with Catholic, independent and government stakeholders and systems. It aims to build leadership capability, enhance workforce development and redefine evidence through integrating scholarly, practitioner and place-based knowledge.
