LPAConnect: Your Space

LPAConnect is a space designed specifically to support our members in the critical work that you do. Launched in 2023, the intention of this platform was to provide ease-of-access to a broad range of support materials to assist principals in carrying out their complex role in Lutheran schools. A secondary intention was to ensure that the platform would be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure relevance and currency.

Today, LPAConnect continues to deliver resources under the following headings:

  • Lutheran Identity
  • Wellbeing
  • Professional Learning
  • Resources
  • National Events & News

New in 2025, under the Professional Learning tab, we have introduced:

  • Principal Book Reviews: Members (your colleague principals) provide commentary on books that have inspired them.
  • Book Tasting: A brief scan of books – some new and some relative classics – about spirituality, leadership and education, authored by industry leaders.
  • Research: Links to recently released academic papers that may influence your approach to student learning.
  • Productivity Hacks: Efficiency and workflow optimisation tips from savvy leaders.
  • Artificial Intelligence Conversations: At your request, a range of perspectives and provocations about artificial intelligence in the education industry.

A further development, also under the Professional Learning tab, is Principal Voice. Visit ‘Principal Ideas and Chats’ to be inspired by the thought leadership of our members – your colleague principals.

An LPAConnect Update is circulated to members on the first Monday of the month, offering a snapshot of newly added resources.

Jane Mueller is your 'LPAConnect Facilitator' and welcomes your suggestions and feedback: lpaconnect@lpa.edu.au.

 

LPA would like to acknowledge LLL for their sponsorship which supports the development and ongoing management of this important resource.
