I am thrilled to be joining the Foxwell State Secondary College community as your new Principal for Term 2. My first week at Foxwell has been warm and welcoming from both staff and students across the college and I am excited to learn more about our Foxwell way of working and learning as this term progresses. I have already been able to observe that the College is built upon strong foundations to foster a deep learning culture.

Our vision to provide a world of opportunity for every student, is evident in the conversations I have been having with staff across the college this week, and I look forward to seeing the outstanding opportunities and experiences that are provided to your children in their classrooms and in extra-curricula events. I am also looking forward to meeting with many of our college parents and community at these events throughout the term.

I have worked in education for 22 years, with most of my career at Marsden State High in Logan City, and my most recent role as the Principal of the Senior School. I am passionate about providing opportunities to students to thrive in their educational pathways and supporting our young people in finding their passion and interests to achieve success. 

The college's philosophy of Kindness is the Foxwell way is something that is encouraging to see along with the SPIRIT values of:

• Service
• Perserverance
• Integrity
• Respect and Responsibility
• Inclusivity 
• Teamwork 

As your new principal, I am committed to continuing to build upon the strong foundations already established while maintaining high expectations in our classrooms to foster an environment where every students can thrive and achieve their full potential.
