PRINCIPAL

Hi everyone

As the new Acting Principal at WACoA -Harvey for Term 2, I would like to introduce myself and give you a little background as to who I am and where I have come from. My name is Adam Blackmore and I was brought up in a small country town in NW Ireland and emigrated to Australia about 35 years ago. I now live in Binningup with my wife of 37 years, we have two grown up daughters, the eldest is currently living and working out of South America and our youngest is a Primary School Teacher in Broome. 

I have been a Deputy Principal for the past 15 years, between Carnamah District High School, Collie Senior High School and Australind Senior High School. These positions have given me a wide range of experience in all aspects of the education system from small to large schools.

As a previous Food Science and Hospitality teacher, which developed from my former career as a chef and restauranteur, fresh local produce has always been dear to my heart and there is certainly an abundance of that around this wonderful school. 

It was with great pleasure and excitement that I accepted the opportunity to take up the position of Principal here for Term 2. I would like to say a big thank you to all staff and students whom I have met so far for being so welcoming and helpful as I come to understand the unique complexity of this excellent facility. The calm and efficient manner in which the college runs is testament to the dedication and professionalism of the entire staff. 

I look forward to getting to know all the students, staff and parents in the coming months and using my experience to add value to the wonderful work that is already being carried on here and to also make a positive difference in the lives of all who work and learn here through my positive and enthusiastic passion for holistic education and ensuring that students are equipped to be positive citizens.  

Please feel free to pop in and say hello, send me an email or give me a call if you have any queries or suggestions.
