Leading Your International School and Australian Boarding Schools Association Form Strategic Partnership.

LYIS and ABSA Aim to ‘Make Boarders’ Lives Better‘.

We are delighted to announce the coming together of Leading Your International School (LYIS) and the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA) in a joint strategic partnership aimed at ‘Making Boarders’ Lives Better’.

As part of the partnership, LYIS will support the ABSA in building upon its continued expansion of exceptional services beyond Australia and into Asia. The ABSA will support LYIS’ ambitions to ‘Level up international school leadership‘ and, as such, any senior leader within the ABSA network wanting to progress into headship will have the opportunity to fulfil such ambitions with LYIS.

Speaking about the partnership, LYIS CEO André Double said, “Richard and I have been holding discussions for well over a year now. From my first conversation with Richard, it was obvious that the ABSA was an organisation that LYIS was aligned with and one that we wanted to work with. Adding, “Richard made it very clear from the outset that in his experience, boarding staff make great school leaders“. André followed on by saying, “The ABSA is a values-led organisation, and when organisations with a great purpose in what they do come together, nearly anything is achievable“.

ABSA CEO Richard Stokes said, “I am really pleased that our two organisations are going to be supporting each other to make boarders’ lives better, and that leaders we work with have an even further support mechanism into school leadership” adding, “I am very proud of the work the ABSA has been doing with our members to enrich the lives of boarders’ in our network of schools“.

Having been involved in boarding for over forty years, Richard is an incredibly passionate individual when it comes to boarding and we are delighted to be working with such a progressive, forward-thinking and open organisation.

What can we expect from the partnership?You can certainly expect to see the two organisations working closely on an exchange of ideas and practices that can further support boarders and school leaders. There will be synergy between events and an increasing alignment between each other’s adopted standards and professional practices.

LYIS is an Educational Leadership Consultancy and Member organisation that supports School Principals and those who want to become one.

The Australian Boarding Schools’ Association (ABSA), is the leading authority in Australia on boarding for school-aged children and promotes the interests and well-being of boarders, boarding staff, boarding parents and boarding institutions in Australia and throughout Asia.
