Role Description/Criteria
St Thomas Aquinas Primary School, Norlane is a school of 156 students. We value all in our community and live by the words of St Thomas Aquinas, "It is better to illuminate than to merely shine." The Gospel values of respect, compassion, justice and service guide our relationships and decisions.
St Thomas Aquinas School is seeking a dynamic and committed Deputy Principal to join our senior leadership team. This vital role requires a close collaboration with the Principal to provide strong leadership and support to our school community. As a senior leader, the Deputy Principal will be a positive role model for staff, students, and parents, embodying the Catholic faith and the mission of our school in both word and action.
Key responsibilities include leading the Learning and Teaching areas, acting as a Pedagogy Coach, and managing the Specialist Team. In addition, the Deputy Principal will play a crucial role in enacting the school’s vision and mission.
