I was thrilled to be appointed as the Principal of St Joseph’s School CHB in 2025.

I have been in education for about 34 years, with over half of these in leadership roles. I have  previously been Principal at Mangaorapa School, Deputy Principal at Raureka School and most recently Takapau School. I have also held the Principal Leadership position for the Ruahine Kåhui Ako. 

This is the first time I have worked in a Catholic School, however having attended a Catholic College myself, I understand the importance of upholding the special character of our Catholic School.  The school motto Leading in faith, learning for life resonants comfortably with me.

I am committed to uphold the special character of St Joseph’s School and acknowledge the vast history of the school which we look forward to celebrating in February 2026.

I look forward to leading St Joseph’s School in the future.

E te Atua e manaaki
