Two schools on the Peninsula have been named in this year’s FASTstream program which aims to attract teachers into classrooms in regional NSW.
Both Brisbane Water Secondary College’s Woy Woy campus and Woy Woy South Public School were identified in the 2022 program with applications now open to interested teachers.
The program targets teaching graduates and experienced teachers with leadership ambition and talent to accelerate their career journey.
“We are fast tracking our best and brightest teachers into principal roles, providing them with targeted support, mentoring and professional development so they are ready to succeed as a principal within 10 years,” Minister for Education and Early Learning, Sarah Mitchell, said.
“Every participant in FASTstream will spend time in a regional school, helping to bring great teaching and leadership to the bush.”
FASTstream supports 30 teachers and 20 teaching graduates each year to develop their careers as school leaders, through the Department of Education School Leadership Institute (SLI).
Forty-nine schools across NSW are taking part in the 2022 FASTstream program.
Applications opened on March 15 and will close on May 1.
