created a caring and accepting school community and they are dedicated to the children and their families and passionate about student achievement. I'm proud to be part of this school community again."

"These relationships will be an asset to her as the Vice Principal. She is a home-grown administrator and has a long history of dedication, loyalty and passion for Catholic education and will bring a system level perspective to the role. She has a love for education, a passion for numeracy and is a nurturing and caring educator. We are proud to welcome her to this role and know that she will continue to bring a strong focus to academics and will uphold a high standard of Catholic leadership at Pope John Paul II school."

She brings with her enthusiasm, excellence and system leadership experience.
