Abstract

This paper presents the findings of an evaluation of Leading with Integrity for Excellence (LWIE), a program currently being implemented in Australian Catholic schools (with the view to expand into Europe and the UK). LWIE offers the education space an opportunity to respond to some of the challenges it currently faces, as a means by which to enhance the executive management capabilities of school principals, while responding to the need to create a culture of ethical leadership. Accordingly, this paper will argue for the importance of enhanced, values-based leadership in order to assure high-quality schooling delivery and positive outcomes for all involved within the school community, and respond to the challenges facing Catholic education today.
