2026 Country Dioceses Leadership Programme (CDLP)

Ten participants from schools across the Diocese of Ballarat joined similar sized cohorts of staff from schools in the Diocese of Sandhurst and the Diocese of Wagga Wagga for Part 1 of the CDLP held at Cammeray Waters, Woodend.

The program facilitated by staff from Catholic Education Ballarat, Catholic Education Sandhurst and Catholic Education Wagga Wagga engages participants through a residential professional development opportunity with a focus on the skills, knowledge and capabilities for leaders and middle leaders within a Catholic school context. Over the course of the year, participants identify and develop their effective leadership practice within their own school context and through a spaced learning model and a coaching program.

Participants will return to Cammeray Waters in late July to explore additional leadership models where they will be joined by the Executive Directors from each Diocese.
