Area Managers nominated exceptional leaders from services in their care for the program, which sees SEL’s working closely with Affinity’s education team to help facilitate a community of practice as well as implementing Affinity policy and practice. 

“The vision for the SEL Program is to further support the implementation and embedding of Affinity Education’s Education Strategy, as well as optimise educational leadership across our network,” explained Jola Sung, Education Advisor at Affinity Education Group.
