Throughout my career in Catholic education I have demonstrated commitment to the Gospel values in my interactions and work with the school community. I communicate effectively and I am creative in the way in which I carry out my work, respectful of all.
I fully appreciate loyalty, confidentiality and trust. I firmly believe that I have actively demonstrated these traits in my work and in my dealings with others. I strive to excel in my role as leader to foster and nurture positive relationships in a thriving community.
