The outcomes from the studies reported in this book would not have eventuated without the efforts of many people. Special thanks are extended to Leonie Trimper, then-president of the Australian Primary Principals Association (APPA), who initiated the partnerships necessary to develop and submit the proposal for the original Pilot Project, Principals as Literacy Leaders (PALL), in Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. She chaired the management committee throughout that project and then into extensions in South Australia and regional, rural and remote Indigenous communities there,
