What makes Trinityhouse
Pre-Primary and Foundation
Phase Glenvista a unique
school of excellence?
Quality teachers are the
backbone of our school.
I always say that true
excellence moves beyond
a set of principles and
outcomes – they are a set
of beliefs at the core, which
determine our school’s way
of thinking and being. Wellbeing
in our schools revolves
around how different groups
can come together, get
involved and be fulfilled in
their learning journey.
What would your peers say
about you that makes you a
great Principal?
I’ve been told that I spend time
listening to students, teachers
and parents and consider
various ideas before making
decisions. This is the kind of
listening that goes beyond
simply paying attention while
others talk. I also pride myself
on creating relationships with
everyone I meet, and that
goes a long way.
As we head into the new year,
what exciting plans do you
have on the cards for 2022?
Beyond the big plans, I look
forward to hearing students
laughing in the corridors and
being able to say hello to
them. These are among life’s
simple pleasures. Covid-19
took away so many of the
small things that we take for
granted. We look forward to
hosting concerts, picnics,
sports days and other events
where our parents will be able
