- A forward-thinking, proactive leader who can inspire others and drive excellence.
- Strong communication skills to build relationships with a range of stakeholders—staff, students, parents, and external partners.
- A passion for sport and student wellbeing, with a track record of creating engaging and impactful sporting programs.
- The ability to analyse data and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
- Commitment to ensuring safety and wellbeing through effective duty of care policies.
