Transforming education, one leader at a time, so educational communities thrive.

Immanuel College partnered with Hutton Consulting in the search for a Principal to replace our long-serving, highly successful incumbent. Hutton’s process was comprehensive and appropriate. At the start, Hutton engaged effectively with our Council, executive, staff and students to help clarify our objectives and risks. During the application period they discovered and communicated with prospective candidates to help provide a strong pool. The assessment process was clear and multi-staged, which imbued the selection panel with increasing confidence as it approached its final decision. Hutton’s ongoing communication with candidates displayed a level of care that I’m sure was appreciated.

We have been encouraged by HCA’s focus on growth and development of each Principal.
The level of service and depth of feedback has been insightful for each Principal involved in this process and for their governors as they also seek to support the Principal’s ongoing professional development and leadership growth. We have no hesitation in commending this service.

HCA’s consultants genuinely sought to understand our culture and context and our desired outcomes to ensure they were able to facilitate productive days. The expansive knowledge of different educational settings that HCA brought to the strategy discussions assisted the EREA NSW Colleges Board and School-based teams to think beyond their own contexts and imagine our shared future in our new governance structure. 
I will definitely use HCA’s services again based on the professionalism, responsiveness and flexibility they showed in this first engagement.
