  • Robert Miller Dip
    The coping strategies of principals in Victorian schools who have participated in the Northern Metropolitan Region Health and Wellbeing Program 2002-2012. Robert Miller Dip. T. (Prim) SCV Coburg BA ( La Trobe University) Grad. Dip. Ed. Admin. (University of Melbourne) Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education, Educational Management, by course work and minor thesis. November, 2015. Faculty of Education. University of Melbourne. Abstract Principals in schools are facing an ever increasing number of work demands and are experiencing high levels of workload, stress and feelings of lack of support that are leading to negative impacts on their health and wellbeing. This research explores the experiences of a group of Principals from Victorian government schools who participated in a Health and Wellbeing program that provided information and supports to assist them to put in place changes that would have positive impacts on their health and wellbeing. Principals made positive changes to diet and levels of physical activity to support improved health, and their wellbeing was improved mainly by emotional support, especially with colleagues as mentors and coaches, particularly at a local level involving local Networks. Whilst acknowledging that self-care is the responsibility of the individual, principals were clear that a systemic acknowledgement of the issues and appropriate responses by line managers are needed to support principals, and aspirants, to be aware of, recognise and to respond appropriately to the many issues that impact their health and wellbeing. This is an issue that principals want to continue to have highlighted at a local and regional level.
