Abstract	This report presents the results of the third phase of a research project, Leading Queensland Primary Schools into the Future, commissioned by the Queensland Association of State School Principals (QASSP) and funded by the Principals Australia Research Foundation (PARF). The aim of the project was to explore a new narrative for Queensland Primary School Principals in three phases (literature review, survey, and interviews), guided by the research questions: • Research Question 1 – In what ways does primary schooling impact the economic and social performance of a community/nation? • Research Question 2 – What is the contribution of school leadership to the achievement of quality primary school student outcomes, academic and social? Twelve capabilities emerged from the literature review of Phase 1 (Conway, Bauman, & Andrews, 2022) and provided the foundation of a proposed model of School Community-Orientated Leadership Capabilities. The proposed model is depicted in Figure 1. The literature review established “that courageous (Robinson, 2020) successful school leaders, who are open to a shift of mind – a new mindset (Dweck, 2006) – inevitably motivate themselves and others to collective actions (Conway, 2008; Conway & Andrews, 2016)” (p. 2). Phase 2 of the research tested the Capabilities Model by representing each Capability in terms of indicative qualities and then subjected these proposed indicators to quantitative analysis. The present report describes the process and outcomes of Phase 2. Phase 3 focuses on the research question Research Question 2 – What is the contribution of school leadership to the achievement of quality primary school student outcomes, academic and social by exploring the capabilities required for leading schools into the future?
