We would like our new principal to build on the strengths of our current principal:

• Be passionate about education, especially middle school education; and have an excellent understanding of current pedagogy.
• Be an excellent communicator; personable, and visible within the school community and the wider community;
• Have a collaborative approach to decision-making, fostering a team culture of strategic thinking and planned implementation;
• Be prepared to lead and to make the tough or awkward decisions when required;
• Be an inspirational team player who is approachable and caring and who possesses a good sense of humour;

This is an opportunity not to be missed, working with an enthusiastic, skilled and incredible staff alongside amazing children.
