Reflections of School Leaders

When Growth Means Goodbye


Listen Later

In this episode, I am delighted to welcome Penny Curran-Peters, Principal of Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College, who shares her honest journey of navigating the difficult transition from beloved mentee to independent leader.

Penny opens up about the challenge many young leaders face when they've built their skills in a supportive environment they love, only to realise they must leave that comfort zone to continue growing. She takes us through her experience of making a "triple whammy" move - changing roles, schools, and cities simultaneously, while managing the complex emotions that accompanied this career progression.

Join us for this authentic conversation as Penny shares practical wisdom about maintaining relationships with mentors while building independence, the importance of giving yourself grace during periods of growth, and her powerful realisation that while you need others alongside you, you fundamentally have everything within yourself to flourish.
