Congratulations! You have taken the first step in becoming a part of this wonderful community. As Principal, it is my privilege to lead this school toward educational excellence where every student is encouraged to innovate, discover and be empowered. We are extremely blessed to have highly professional and nurturing educators who are committed to delivering flexible, creative learning experiences that allow students to be critical thinkers, effective communicators and collaborative problem-solvers.

Our school is nestled in the centre of Engadine and is part of the famous Bosco community. Our strong connection to the college as a K–12 pathway ensures that our students are provided with rich, authentic learning experiences as they mature into good, honest citizens who will be able to make a positive contribution to society. We are a well-resourced school both in the classroom and on the playground and I believe that it is my responsibility to ensure every student deserves the best educational opportunities that we can provide.

As principal, my leadership is underpinned by three key values: Relationships, Presence and Empowerment. I commit to developing authentic relationships with staff, parents and students to build a collaborative community that is focused on improving students’ learning and wellbeing. I commit to being present to all those that I lead. I will actively listen to others, have clear communication, acknowledge others’ points of view and show empathy. I also commit to empowering others to be the best people that they can be so they can make a positive difference in the world.

I encourage you to come and see our school in action and you will soon feel and understand the amazing spirit that is Bosco.
