Naumai e te whānau o te kura St Anthony's Tēnā Koutou Katoa 

Dear St Anthony’s School Community

It has been an honour to work at St Anthony’s School and assist your children to be the best they can be.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time leading St Anthony’s over the last four years. St Ant’s offers your children an exceptional education and I feel privileged to have been able to contribute to this.

It is now time for me to take my rich experience and joy of leadership and education to Samuel Marsden where I will be the Director of Primary.

I have been blessed by the community that is our school. I thank the Board for their unfailing strong leadership as well as support and faith in me; the teachers for their commitment and love for quality education - every day it is a joy to work with such dedicated and capable staff who are completely committed to doing their absolute best for the students of St Anthony’s; whānau for their support and partnership; and the students for being the best they can be and the shining light of St Anthony’s School.

I will always keep St Ants as a special place in my heart and will never forget the experiences I’ve had here. I look forward to connecting with you all over the remainder of the term, prior to my departure on the final day of Term 3.

I’d like to leave you with a special quote: “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” Walt Disney
