Greg Atterton, Pulteney Grammar School
deputy principal
Greg Atterton is a dynamic leader in education whose commitment to supporting the development of compassionate, independent, resilient and creative learners has underpinned his work in developing staff capacity and school-wide improvement.
Under Atterton’s leadership, a Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC) was established to implement a significant change-management process within Pulteney Grammar. This included restructuring staffing models, developing shared guiding principles, and implementing a coaching approach to achieve mind shifts in the ways learning area leaders create new learning norms in the best interests of students. He also oversaw a refreshed approach to internal and external professional learning, with a focus on building strong professional learning teams that initiated action research projects in line with the school’s strategic priorities. In addition, Atterton is now leading a new steering committee formed through the TLC to continue the momentum from the recent Pulteney@Home experience that was set up to cater for online learning prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
