The Role
As a key member of the College leadership team, you will work closely with the Principal and Executive team to contribute to the implementation of the College Business Plan through collaborative decision-making, while promoting the College’s vision and strategic directions. Through proactive, supportive, and collaborative leadership, you will drive improvement, model high expectations, and inspire both staff and students.
In your role as a curriculum leader, you will play a key part in developing and supporting your team through performance development, as well as leading curriculum planning in line with School Curriculum Standards Authority requirements.
