%T MONASH POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN EDUCATION: A REFLECTION OF AN EXPERIENCE 
%U http://eprints.iab.edu.my/v2/147/
%X This paper is about a reflection of my experience during the Postgraduate Certificate of Education (Leadership, Policy and Change) course at the Faculty of Education, Monash University, Australia. This course prepares school leaders to build dynamic, caring learning communities that are resilient, responsive to the importance of skilled decision making. The aim is to assist the participants who undertake this program to become transformational leaders within their educational context. The two academic units of the postgraduate study and leadership seminars provide an extensive knowledge on topics related to leadership, organization, management and change. At the same time I was also exposed to the development, progress and performance of the government schools in the Victorian Education System. The Mentor Shadowing Program without doubt gave me an invaluable experience on developing my leadership qualities in my present school organization.
