Previous Position: St Augustine’s College Kyabram 2015-2018

First Year as a Principal: 2015 (although I was a Primary Principal  1996-1997)

My big picture for my current school is: creating a ‘lantern school’ where the improvement and change we undertake is hope filled and has a positive impact on those both within and beyond our College community

The Joy of becoming a Principal is: the extraordinary diversity of the role, the relationships that are formed through that diversity and the learning that needs to take place to lead well in those spaces.
