Our Purpose 
The purpose for APPA is to be the national voice for all primary school principals.

The Australian Primary Principals Association (APPA) is the national professional association for primary school principals in Australia.

APPA represents affiliated state and territory Government, Catholic and Independent primary schools across the nation (over 7,000 members).

APPA is the national voice on national issues. It speaks directly to the Federal Government on matters that concern school principals and their school communities.

Each state and territory has up to three delegates on the National Executive Council, (one from each of the Government, Catholic and Independent sectors). They meet regularly throughout the year to direct and plan strategically for action and representation.
