Last week I was officially appointed as the Principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School. Putting yourself forward for a position like this is a big decision requiring deep consideration. There were many thoughts I reflected on as I was compiling my submission…
-
Am I able to lead this community into the future?
-
Am I the right person to lead this community?
-
How can I nurture the catholicity of this community?
During my interview I was asked why I decided to apply for the principalship of OLMC. This was the easiest question to answer. I applied because of my commitment to the people in this community. I am committed to the children and want to support their growth as learners and considerate catholics. I am committed to the staff who strive day in and out to make a difference in the lives of their students. I am committed to supporting the parents as we share the goal of providing the best education possible for the children. I am committed to supporting the work of Fr Denis and our Carmelite priests of building a strong faith community who hold Jesus at the core of what we do.
Since the announcement of my appointment I have been overwhelmed and affirmed by the positive response of the staff, students and parents of our community. I would like to offer thanks for your kind words of congratulations and know that I can count on your continued support of our shared mission.
