Our Principal/Tumuaki

 

Welcome to Christchurch Girls’ High School | Te Kura o Hine Waiora

 

 

 

It is an absolute honour to be appointed as the Principal/ Tumuaki of Christchurch Girls’ High School/ Te Kura o Hine Waiora.

I have been an educator for more than thirty years with international experience as a teacher, Head of Science, and leader in top performing schools. I have spent the last nineteen years in New Zealand with my family, and we have really enjoyed it. My most recent position was Principal of Iona College, a state-integrated boarding and day school for girls in Havelock North, and prior to that Deputy Principal at Baradene College of the Sacred Heart in Auckland.

I am passionate about fostering a culture of high aspirations, ambition for all, and personal excellence, where our students have the best opportunities to grow and develop in a positive, respectful, nurturing and inclusive learning environment. We want our learners to be ambitious, curious, and courageous, to follow their passions and develop their strengths, to be creative and critical thinkers, and be the leaders of tomorrow. We want to guide our students to find their pathway and we look forward to supporting them on their own journey to excel. Christchurch Girls’ High School/ Te Kura o Hine Waiora provides a myriad of opportunities for growth, achievement, and success and of course we want to interweave that essential element of fun.

As we know the strength of the school lies in the connection within our community, with the values of manaakitanga, aroha, whanaungtanga and rangatiratanga at the heart and I look forward to getting to know you all.
