Research has illustrated that innovative initiatives and experiences can change pre-service teachers’ attitudes, perspectives and perceptions about regional, rural and remote schools. What is less understood is the contribution of school leaders foregrounding a place consciousness approach to spark pre-service teacher interest in undertaking professional experience placements and possible employment in their RRR schools. This paper shares research findings that identified how Far North Queensland school leaders showcased “<em>their place</em>” with key stakeholders and in particular with pre-service teachers. The findings affirmed notions that school leaders understand the valuable connections between rural, regional and remote pre-service professional experiences and the potentiality for high quality teachers for the long-term. Implications are drawn in relation to how school leaders create partnerships and promote their school place intentionally.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Australian and International Journal of Rural Education}, author={Thiele, Catherine and Casey, Joanne and Simon, Susan and Dole, Shelley}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={1–16} }
