Welcome to NAPD
Welcome to our website which we hope will continue to be a great resource for our members.
I would ask members to check their regional blog for any upcoming events and also download the NAPD App.
NAPD supports the professional needs of School Leaders particularly as we are in a constantly changing and increasingly demanding educational landscape. Through these supports, the association strives to look after the health and wellbeing of Principals and Deputy Principals and represent their views at the highest levels.
May I take this opportunity to thank members for the tremendous work carried out by you in keeping schools open and in leading teaching and learning in these difficult times.
Michael Cregan
President
Welcome to our NAPD website. I hope it will act as a “one stop shop” offering a range of supports and resources to school leaders during their busy working day. Working with a great team of designers we’ve tried to make the look and feel of the new site attractive, user-friendly and easy to navigate. If you have any suggestions which will improve the site please let me know and we’ll do our best to incorporate them and make www.napd.ie more responsive to members’ needs. Happy browsing!
