Higgins Coatings is proud to announce our new partnership with the Australian Catholic Primary Principals Association (ACPPA), as the sponsor of their Principal Leadership fund.
The ACPPA is the peak representative body for Catholic principals across Australia. They provide representation and support for Catholic primary school principals aiming to benefit their schools as they lead and inspire the heart, mind and spirit of Catholic primary school education.

By sponsoring the inaugural Principals Leadership Fund, Higgins supports ACPPA in providing principals with the resources and training they need to effectively lead and foster positive educational environments for students. The ACPPA will make the Principal Leadership Fund available each year and applicants are evaluated based on specific criteria. This year, 11 applications from around Australia were received, requesting financial support to attend conferences, support further study, provide coaching, and attend overseas study tours.
The funding has been distributed amongst four chosen principals who not only highlighted their desire to further their skills and capacity to lead in their applications but also exemplified the Higgins company values.
ACPPA Executive Officer, Gez Mulvahil, on behalf of the ACPPA Board, expressed how grateful the association is for this partnership with Higgins Coatings.
"We are grateful for the support from Higgins Coatings to be able to assist with the financial costs of the professional learning of early career principals. The Principal Leadership Fund was a highly successful initiative in 2024, and we look forward to continuing to offer this in the coming years."
National Marketing Manager, Nicole Carbone said Higgins was proud to partner with ACPPA.
“At Higgins, we believe in fostering leadership and empowering those who inspire and help shape the next generation. Through this initiative, we are proud to contribute to the professional growth of principals who are making a lasting impact on their schools and communities,”
We look forward to this ongoing partnership with the ACPPA.
