Dublin School Leaders Attend National Leadership Conference

ETBI CNS, CSS and CHS Principals’ & Deputy Principals’ Symposium 2025

The symposium, which took place in Portlaoise on 22nd & 23rd May, facilitated dialogue about leadership and management across ETB schools, saw a keynote from National Parents Council CEO Aine Lynch and had a variety of peer-to-peer workshops, with experienced Principals’ sharing advice with delegates. A vital opportunity to collaborate for our CNS community.

From 22nd to 23rd May 2025, ETBI hosted delegates from Community National Schools, Community Special Schools, and Community Hospital Schools from across the ETB sector for a national Principals’ & Deputy Principals’ Symposium. This professional learning experience afforded principals and deputy principals a unique opportunity to network with colleagues from across the ETB sector. Over two days, delegates shared best practice in leadership and management and heard from various speakers on the themes principals had identified as important to them. The ETBI CNS Principals’ & Deputy Principals’ Symposium 2025 was a valuable opportunity for principals and deputy principals to gather together as a community. Forging links with colleagues within this growing network was highlighted as particularly important.
