Schools can easily become islands of alienation in the very communities they are meant to serve. In all of these ways, much remains to be done in the theory, research, and practice of leadership and the development of school leaders. S.

Service-orientation: a belief that the school be flexible and responsive in meeting the diverse needs of its community. • Empowerment: a commitment to the meaningful involvement and participation of school community members in the life of the school. • Equity and fairness: a belief that the rights of all in the school community are duly recognised and that individuals be treated with justice and integrity. • Whole-person development: a commitment to producing students with a well-rounded, balanced education.
