When school leaders and educators are weighed down by burdensome and inefficient administrative processes, they have less time and resources to do what they do best – educating students.
ISV’s Southern Cross Program is designed to support your school to do just that. It aims to streamline processes and improve productivity to free up precious staff and financial resources. This means greater staff satisfaction and, ultimately, better student outcomes.
The Southern Cross Program is full of practical strategies to help schools:
- define and clarify a significant process challenge or opportunity
- empower staff to instigate change and continuous improvement
- align your school’s vision with day-to-day operations
- maximise resources and improve efficiency
- develop an action plan and implement solutions.
What’s your school’s unique challenge or opportunity?
Every school is unique. That’s why the Southern Cross Program enables your school to bring a distinct challenge or opportunity to the table.
Here are just some examples of projects undertaken by previous participants as part of the Southern Cross Program:

Over 150 school teams have been involved in the Southern Cross Program since 2011. Projects and initiatives have spanned curriculum and pedagogy, administrative and reporting processes, student wellbeing and community engagement.
The project possibilities are open, but preference is given to those geared towards enhancing student outcomes as a result of improved school processes.
Join our next intake in Term 3 2023
The next intake is limited to 4 ISV Member Schools.
The full cost is $5,000 per school team. However, support provided by the Victorian Government’s ‘Learning for Life Program for Non-Government Schools’ allows schools to participate at a cost of $3,000.
Expressions of interest are open until Friday 28 July.
