Board Update: Acting Principal appointment                       

The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Mrs Denise Johnson, our Deputy Principal, has been appointed to the role of Acting Principal from Term 4 until a new principal is appointed.   This is a role that Denise has previously filled successfully at St Anthony’s School.  

Denise is well known in our school and has been a teacher at St Anthony’s for the last 17 years.  We are confident in her ability to lead our school and ensure a smooth transition for the students, teachers and the wider school community.

Recruiting a new principal is one of the most important things the Board will do.  We will be appointing a specialist consultant to assist us in the recruitment process and we intend to advertise the position of Principal next week.  We will keep the school community informed with regular updates.

Please see below some FAQs that outline the proposed structure for Term 4 until a new principal is appointed. If you have any further questions, please contact the Board Chairperson:
