THE PRIVILEGE AND THE PRICE:
The impact of workload on the health and well-being of principals and assistant principals in Victorian Government schools - 2003

This was a comprehensive study consisting of an international literature review, analysis of WorkCover data, and a large program of focus-group and survey research among principals and assistant principals from Government schools across Victoria. It showed that while principals and assistant principals considered it a privilege to be entrusted with the development of young people, their work exacted a considerable price in health and well-being.
