Principal News
Dear Sacred Heart Community
Prayer
Thank You Jess
I wish to inform our community that Jess will be leaving Sacred Heart at the end of this year and taking on the Deputy Principal position at St Mary of the Cross Mackillop Primary School in Epping North. This is a marvelous opportunity for Jess.
We have been privileged to have had Jess in our community these past three years. Using her extensive knowledge, passion and empathy in leading our staff, has allowed Sacred Heart to reach greater heights. Jess will be leaving a profound legacy on our school. She is without doubt one of the very best leaders I have worked with in my thirty five years in education.
Replacing Jess with a leader who has similar attributes has been a very high priority once Jess informed me that she was applying for the position at St Mary of the Cross Mackillop. In consultation with my Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools consultants we have been able to appoint a new Deputy Principal earlier this week who fills the exact same role as Jess in her neighbouring School. In next week's newsletter I will introduce Jess' replacement.
