Abstract	The call for the transformation of schools has come at a time when fewer people are seeking the principalship. Some contend that it is rapidly becoming 'mission impossible'. This paper presents a more optimistic view. Scenarios for the future of schools are canvassed. Knowledge management is critically important. Partnerships on an unprecedented scale are proposed. Strategies to build a capacity for leadership at all levels are outlined. Innovation must be balanced by abandonment. Illustrations are drawn from several nations, with particular reference to Australia. Sixteen recommendations are offered along with five strategies for immediate implementation at the school level.
