This hour long interactive online meeting via Zoom will be faciliated by Jack Durkan a former Primary School Principal who is now an associate with both the IPPN and the PDST Leadership team. It will be an informal meeting discussing the key concerns and issues school face in the final term. It will give Principals the opportunity to share ideas and concerns amongst themselves and hopefully help them navigate the final term of the school year. 

When you register you will be sent a very short google form simply asking you to outline 3 areas of concern you may have for the final term. This will help us guide the agenda and discussion on the day.
