THE BASICS
This blog is for anyone who wants to know more about how schools work and how they can work with their school to support their child. I'll do my best to answer and/or find out the answer to your questions and keep it to the basics.
THE PRINCIPAL
I have had a diverse career teaching students in preschool, primary, secondary and tertiary settings as well holding many senior leadership positions in education. I was formerly the NSW Principal School Principal Advisor for the Australian Curriculum, primary principal representative for Curriculum NSW Education Standards, Principal Liaison to the Director or Early Learning and Primary Education, principal of two primary schools and have held consultancy positions in gifted and talented, curriculum, assessment and reporting and the creative arts. I have been a principal at two primary schools and worked with teachers across NSW. These days I’m retired grandparent experiencing schools from a whole new perspective.
