The recruitment and selection of principals is critical to ensure quality teaching and learning outcomes in Queensland state schools.
Changes have been made to the department’s recruitment and selection for Queensland State School Principals. These changes are based on three underlying principles:

  1. School Parents and Citizens Associations of school councils have direct involvement in the selection of a suitable and meritorious principal.
  2. Principals seeking relocation are assessed for suitability by an appropriate panel.
  3. Appointments are considered from the widest possible pool of applicants.

From January 2014, principal vacancies will be advertised individually on the Smart Jobs and Careers website.
School Parents and Citizen Associations and/or school councils have direct involvement in the selection of a suitable principal to meet the needs of their specific school.
Principals who have requested relocation will have their suitability considered by a panel comprising of departmental representatives and a third person selected in consultation with the school’s P and C or council. If the panel decides there are no suitable relocation applicants, the vacancy may be filled through an advertised process.
Principals are still able to be considered for relocation after the completion of their regional service.
