At Canggu Community School (CCS), we believe leadership is not confined to titles or offices—it lives in every classroom, hallway, and learning moment. Whether you're inspiring students with a creative lesson, organizing an event, or simply modeling our core values of learning, respect, balance, and engagement, you are leading.
While roles like principal or coordinator are traditionally seen as leadership positions, at CCS, we recognize that every educator and staff member contributes to the school’s collective growth. From teacher-leaders facilitating inquiry in the classroom to teaching assistants nurturing social-emotional development, leadership takes many forms. It’s found in the quiet encouragement of a struggling student, the innovation of a new club, or the willingness to ask tough questions about how we can improve.
We understand that strong middle leadership—those who lead from the middle—is critical to sustained school success. According to the Future of Education Report 2024–25, supporting and empowering educators at all levels is key to driving innovation and well-being in schools. At CCS, we nurture this by offering coaching, leadership pathways, and opportunities to experiment and reflect.
Leadership at CCS is deeply rooted in our strategic plan and guided by our shared vision for the future. When we talk about “supporting leaders,” we’re also talking about supporting each other. Every team member—whether Indonesian staff or international teachers, facilities crew or administrative personnel—is encouraged to contribute ideas and take ownership of their role in shaping our learning community.
We value coachability, capacity, and commitment to culture, knowing that the best leaders are those who are curious, collaborative, and committed to our mission. We prioritize time for professional conversations, support growth through actionable feedback, and celebrate the unique contributions of our diverse team.
In a rapidly changing world, schools like CCS must evolve not only in what we teach but in how we lead. Empowering all members of our community to lead—whether in formal or informal ways—helps build a culture of trust, innovation, and shared responsibility. It ensures that we’re not just preparing students for their future—we’re modeling what thriving, values-aligned leadership looks like today.
So as we move forward, let’s continue to recognize and elevate the leadership that lives all around us. Whether you’re leading a student initiative, coordinating Gotong Royong efforts, or finding new ways to support well-being in your team, your leadership matters.
Stay engaged, stay inspired, and stay committed to making CCS a place where everyone can grow, lead, and shine.
With appreciation,
Dr. Ben Voborsky
