Rosebery,NT

Summary

Humble worker who can lead when necessary. I have a proven track record from my time at Clontarf. Where I have worked for some seven plus years. I did my time as an Operations Officer until I was able to become a Director. Strategically leading my teams for the betterment of the academy and the boys with whom we work. I know my way with financial reporting and relationship building. Action plans, DET excursions/camp applications, and Clontarf policy and procedures. I strived to successfully enhance student engagement and outcomes in Tennant Creek and now Taminmin, fostering a culture of personal development and collaboration among staff, boys, and the wider community.
