It's an absolute pleasure to be back at Foxwell State Secondary College after just under 12 months of maternity leave! 

For those of you who I have yet to have the opportunity to meet, my name is Kate Shepherd and I am lucky enough to be a part of the Deputy Principal team here at Foxwell State Secondary College. I very much look forward to meeting you, as well as reconnecting with students and their families over the coming weeks. 

For the remainder of this year, I will be working part time looking after the following portfolios:

• 2023 Enrolments and Transition 
• Our incoming 2023 Year 7 cohort 
• Programs of Excellence
• Whole School Events
• 2023 Staffing 

I joined the Foxwell State Secondary College team in July of 2019 when our school was yet to be built. I've been a Deputy Principal for over 7 years in South East Queensland, most previously working at Brisbane State High School and Southport State High Independent Public School. My background as a teacher is in the Creative Arts, most specifically Music. 

You will find me at school on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in Administration. Please feel free to say hello or introduce yourself when you visit school - I'd love to see you or meet you.
