Shepparton Education Plan

Update for School Communities

Further to previous articles in school newsletters regarding the Shepparton Education Plan, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs Genevieve Simson to the Executive Principal position for the new secondary school for Greater Shepparton.

The Shepparton Education Plan and the development of a revitalised secondary school model which will improve learning opportunities and educational outcomes for students, has been the outcome of collaborative work across schools and consultation with the community.

The recruitment process for this position attracted high calibre applications from across Australia.

Genevieve has an impressive track record of leadership in secondary school settings and has twenty years experience in successfully leading complex change projects. Genevieve’s most recent principal position has been at Victoria University Secondary College which was formed following the merger of three secondary colleges in Melbourne, and where she has been the inaugural principal since 2010.  

Genevieve (pictured) commenced in this exciting role as of 30th January 2019 and plans to spend time within each of the secondary schools in coming weeks. There is much to be done, and we look forward to seeing this important work progress during the year.
