Kalee Henry

Kalee says being a member of School Council is being a member of the whole school community, sharing in the vision and direction of the school, both academically and administratively.

She believes every student, both current and future, should be afforded every opportunity and have every tool at their disposal, allowing them to acquire the best education they can, ultimately finding themselves able to make a confident decision about who and what they wish to be.

Providing opportunity has been Kalee’s mantra for some 20 years during her involvement in multiple School Councils and Committees, as well as that of various Voluntary and Advocacy Programs, within Education, Business, Government and Not-for-Profit entities where legislation and decision making is paramount.

A Financial Administrator with qualifications ranging from Trade to Post Graduate Business Administration (MBA), Kalee has held Executive and General Roles in the areas of Treasury, Legislation, Fundraising and Sponsorship, as well as that of the Finance, Education and Maintenance School Council Sub-Committees, which will see Kalee bring a breadth of knowledge and offer extensive experience to JMSS School Council.

Kalee’s daughter is a Year 11 student with a passion for Mathematics, Science and Music.
