Hunter Public School Principals Face Burnout

BY IAN CROUCH

Hunter Public School principals say they're struggling with their ever-increasing workload and many are facing burnout.

A Forum for Principals at Wests New Lambton yesterday heard principals are not just dealing with the everyday administration of their schools, they also have to juggle hundreds of emails and phone calls, demanding and troublesome students and parents with high expectations of their children.

Department of Education officials have promised to work with principals to help manage their workload.
