Guiding Coalition

In April 2006, an ICTs Leaders' conference was held at the Gold Coast. The goal of the conference was to enrol, engage and enable 158 Queensland principals in the OneSchool vision. The establishment of the Guiding Coalition of principals is a key component in the change management processes for the implementation of OneSchool.

The 10 Regional Executive Directors considered geography, school type and size as well as ICT readiness when nominating the representatives from their regions.

Members of the OneSchool project team were designated as key contacts for each region and members of the Guiding Coalition. The project team members visited all the schools for which they are responsible. These visits ensured the OneSchool team had current state information in relation to existing infrastructure and workforce readiness. The team members organised regional meetings with the Guiding Coalition members to provide updates on the project, demonstrate Release One and gathered feedback around OneSchool functional requirements. They also presented at Principal meetings, state and regional conferences, and to stakeholder groups.

Members of the Guiding Coalition participated in the technical trial of OneSchool Release One in Semester 2 2007.

In 2008, 26 OneSchool District Liaison Officers (DLOs) were appointed to each district to facilitate the deployment of Release One. The District Liaison Officers have continued to present at district and regional meetings, visit schools, and gather feedback around future functionality.
