Developing Middle Leaders in Catholic Education
In 2027, the Ballarat Diocesan Leadership Program (BDLP) replaces the Country Dioceses Leadership Program (CDLP). It continues to support middle leaders from Catholic schools across the Diocese of Ballarat through seven days of residential professional learning focused on the skills, knowledge and capabilities needed for effective middle leadership in a Catholic context.
The program aligned to DOBCEL Strategy 2035 provides opportunities for participants to identify their effective leadership practice and apply this within their own school context through a spaced learning model, and a coaching program.
Applications for the 2027 program close on Friday 20 November, 2026.
