As Acting Principal, I feel both privileged and honoured to return to St Joseph’s School, a community that I was part of for 11 years. Having previously served here, I bring with me a deep understanding of the school’s character, its values, and the strength of its community.

It is a special opportunity to step back into this kura in a leadership capacity, building on the strong foundations already in place while supporting staff, students, and whānau through this time. I am committed to providing stability, clear direction, and a continued focus on high-quality teaching and learning, grounded in our Catholic Special Character.

I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces, forming new relationships, and working collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for all our tamariki.

Acting Principal
