This chapter, Exemplary Practices in Catholic School Leadership, draws upon empirical field-based data to provide a practice perspective on mission leadership in Catholic schools. The chapter presents findings from a series of studies that explored how principals understand and enact their leadership role from a faith perspective. It identifies key characteristics of faith leadership, such as modelling Christian values, leading prayer and liturgy, ensuring a faith-based school culture, and promoting the school’s Catholic identity and charism. The chapter also highlights enablers that support this leadership, including personal faith commitment, collaboration within leadership teams, symbolism and visible signs of Catholic identity, recruitment of supportive staff, and meaningful faith experiences for students. Indicators of effectiveness are discussed, such as the ability to articulate Catholic identityIdentity, a positive school culture, and growth in students’ religious literacy and faith development. The chapter concludes by affirming the central role of leadership integrity, where the leader’s personal faith commitment is integrated with their professional role and leadership practices to foster a school community that embodies the Gospel vision.
