Principal's Report

Thank you

Whilst I am excited to head off to my new position, it is with great sadness that I say goodbye to Marlborough. This is an extremely special school and community and I would like to thank everybody for allowing me to have the privilege to lead the school for the last three years.

 

Working with the staff at Marlborough has been extremely satisfying. We have worked together collaboratively to improve teaching practices and ensure consistency in student learning across the school. We all worked together to develop an instructional model, improved Numeracy pedagogy and improved differentiation in student learning. The significant improvement in student learning outcomes is a credit to the dedication of the entire staff and the growth mindset they always display. I look forward to watching your continued improvement over the years ahead. Thank you so much for your dedication and passion for your work.

 

It has also been an incredible pleasure to work with the parents and carers of Marlborough. Parent involvement and connection is one of the defining features of this school. 

 

The School Council has been incredibly effective and dedicated to school improvement throughout my time here. Going above and beyond school governance, the School Council has worked strategically to improve all aspects of school life for our students. 

 

The Parents Association has also so often been the backbone of this community. Planning great events for the community to connect and raising invaluable funds to improve student learning spaces.

 

Parent volunteers at school have also contributed greatly to making camps, excursions and sports events run effectively. They have also had a real impact in contributing to student learning through participation in the toe-by-toe program.

 

Thank you so much to the parents, carers and the wider community at Marlborough for everything you have done.

 

Finally, the group that has made my three years as a Principal extremely satisfying - the students. Student learning and well-being provide each staff member at Marlborough with the purpose behind their work each day. The students at Marlborough have consistently demonstrated a kind and caring nature, a great attitude towards their learning, a great sense of humor and fun, warm and friendly natures. I wish every single one of you every success and happiness in the future.

 

Thank you all so much for the opportunity to be Principal for the last three years. I know that I am leaving the school in great hands, with great leadership, a talented staff and a connected community. I wish the school and everyone involved with it, every success and happiness in the future.
