Under the process, state schools under review will select two principals from across the state and an accredited reviewer to conduct the review. The reviews can be conducted by principals from the non-Government school sector. "The department has an obligation to respond when a school fails to demonstrate sufficient progress or where there is other evidence of significant risk to students' achievement, wellbeing or engagement," said a paper sent to principals from the Education Department. "Principals may select peers strategically, seeking out those with complementary strengths in areas requiring improvement."     ###### Share this [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/28/vic-principals-set-to-begin-peer-reviews%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/28/vic-principals-set-to-begin-peer-reviews](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/28/vic-principals-set-to-begin-peer-reviews%20&body=Check%20out%20https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/news/2013/11/28/vic-principals-set-to-begin-peer-reviews) ##### About the Author ![](https://www.schoolgovernance.net.au/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(24).png) **CompliSpace** CompliSpace is Ideagen’s SaaS-enabled solution that helps organisations in highly-regulated industries meet their governance, risk, compliance and policy management obligations. ## Resources you may like ###### Article ##### Setting your boarding staff up for success: why policy clarity matters Boarding governance touches on child safety, complaints handling, student health, and much more....
