Some key information on Liston's Strategic Plan:

Why is it important?

• To ensure clarity, purpose and focus in the governance and leadership of the school.

How is it created?

• An external consultant held a full days seminar with the Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team last weekend after analysing key data points from parent representatives, staff survey and student voice (through a Liston Man values survey last year).

What is unique about our plan? 

• A clear theme has emerged: To ensure Liston’s Men “realise” their potential. (
• Please note that “realise” in this sense is a verb. The plan will involve up to 15 key strategic projects to be completed within the next 3 years.

When will it be ready to implement? 

• We aim to present the strategic overview and key priority projects to the community within the next 1-2 months once the plan has completed its last stages.
