Karen has been teaching and leading in Queensland Schools for almost forty years following a traditional career pathway of Secondary Teacher, Head of Department, Deputy Principal and Principal. Her journey as a Principal is twenty years young. She has held national and state leadership roles as National Chair of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools Australia and National President of the Alliance of Girls Schools, Australasia. She is currently the State Chair of Independent Schools Queensland, a member of the national body Independent Schools Council Australia, the Australian Boarding Schools’ Association and Yalari which is an organisation which supports the education of indigenous young people. Karen is also a member of the International <strong>Education</strong> and Training Advisory Group to the Queensland Government and a member of advisory bodies for the Business Faculty of QUT and the Health Faculty at Bond University. Through her career, Karen has held roles through the Anglican Schools Commission and the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority. She was Principal at St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School in Brisbane for 18 years and led it to becoming one of the most successful schools in Australia.
On the Trophy Shelf All along her voyage, Karen has been adorning her hat with a number of feathers. For her, a medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2017 Queen’s Birthday Day honours list was very special. Other highlights of her successful career include a Churchill Fellowship in 2011, which allowed her to travel and undertake further research into strategies for better equipping women for the role of Principalship in Australian schools. The International Rotary Award – the Paul Harris Fellowship is also a valuable one for Karen as it was an award made by her local branch to recognise leadership in the community as well as at a national level.
