What Schools Are Saying
“Leading change in a small rural community (school) can be challenging. Peta’s mindset coaching enabled me to create a safe place for courageous conversations with colleagues. These conversations lead us into significant change to innovate on our practices and develop a more impactful and strategic direction for our school.”

Support your school to function effortlessly as a symbiotic community. Your students, parents and teachers should to be part of a school that is recognised for educational excellence.

Hi, I’m Peta
I founded Beyond the Classroom in 2018 with the mission to support educators. After more than 20 years in a variety of roles and workplaces as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal, I combine my extensive background and experiences with a non-judgmental approach. I am passionate about making a change in education by supporting educators. I am equally committed to my own continuous professional and personal development to ensure that my knowledge and skills remain relevant to my work.

Here’s how we’ll get things working:
- Individualised workshop to help you with communication
- The support you need to breakdown conflict
- New strategies to help you build toward goals and desired outcomes
- Solutions that allow you to fix long term problems
- Help to best support and encourage team members
I promise to help your school reach its true potential and by helping develop a positive culture that emanates throughout the building.
It’s easy to get started
Let's Talk
Schedule a call, talk about what your school needs and develop a plan to get moving in the right direction.
The Culture Improves
I’ll start working with the teachers you want to support, develop and grow. They begin to feel ready and equipped to take on the challenges.
Your School Raises the bar in education
Your teachers feel empowered, supported and love what they do. The community can’t help but talk about the school that has excelled above others.
After completing this program your school will have the tools it needs to thrive as both a healthy working and learning environment for all community members.
- Your principal will have a clear direction on their goals for the school and receive positive mindset tools on how to support staff members.
- Staff members will receive the tools they need through the workshop to operate individually and together in school with more ease.
- The outcome is more confident leaders in your school community who are passionate about improving the school ecosystem together.
What you do now will give you, your school and your community a return today and for decades to come.
- Teachers and Students enjoy coming to school.
- Student achievement is on the rise.
- Get the recognition that comes with a school that is excelling in all areas.
Your Tools for Success
Get yourself set up for success with these foundations for teachers. My extensive professional background combined with my heartfelt analysis of your needs will provide you with the tools needed for a successful and fulfilling career.
Communication
Learn Non-Violent Communication (NVC) principals and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to better communicate your needs and desires in school with students, colleagues, and parents.
Mindset
Implement Thinking Into Results strategies, to shift your mindset in a positive direction, which will clear mental space and create the life of your dreams.
Well-being
Learn how to find balance within your cyclical living, and well-being tactics for educators. Finding balanced well-being is the foundation for your success.
What You Will Get
The 1:1 Coaching Program for staff members
Feedback notes to the principal on the teacher’s progress every fortnight
A personalised workshop for your staff members facilitated by Peta
Ongoing email support for the principal for the duration of the program
The last thing you want is unhappy students, parents and teachers, leading to a school that is unattractive to the community.
Let’s work together to improve teacher retention, increase enrollments and build the school your community deserves.
