Spearheading the authority’s priority of developing leadership in schools, St. Joseph’s in Helensburgh has already started on the journey. With reports soon to be distributed to children, the staff were treated to a refresher course on the process of on-line reporting on SEEMIS by a member of the clerical team! Staff gathered for a twilight session as Mrs Diamond used her excellent ICT skills to lead the teaching staff through a presentation. Teaching staff were once again grateful for her input and willingness to share her skills.

But this was not the first time! Mrs Diamond runs regular courses for teaching staff on downloading images from cameras and manipulating these in text and, for the very beginner, she has turned her talents to leading workshops on ‘Word’ and the use of e-mails, with a member of staff recently receiving a school award for embracing ICT! Distributed leadership is alive and well with many staff taking on new responsibilities this year…..and we’re all benefiting from each others’ expertise!
