It is my belief that in true leadership of a group of people or community allows for the individual to provide a service to those they are leading. In completing these studies, the work I am undertaking will be enhanced with greater variety. Not just covering Australian education, but also using the views and theories of other countries. The high standard of this degree will be valued in my community, where education continues to be the most direct and meaningful driver for change. |
