Deputy Principal Report

              Matthew Mooney

Introductions and Reacquaintances

It has been my great pleasure and privilege to begin in my new roles in a familiar and very special place to me. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Matthew Mooney. I have been a teacher for the last 18 years. I have been fortunate enough to teach all year levels, held leadership roles in Technology and Religious Education and even spent a period of time teaching English in China to kindergarten students. I am passionate about helping students to achieve all that they are capable of and helping to form them into compassionate and caring members of our community.

 

It has been wonderful meeting all the students over the last couple of weeks and to have been welcomed so warmly by them. I've also had the opportunity to meet a number of you, but look forward to meeting and chatting with many more of you over the coming weeks and months.

 

Now I said, 'for those of you who don't know me,' because many of you do. I think most people are aware that I have worked at St Cecilia's previously. It is such a special place and I feel so fortunate to be able to return. It also gives me a unique perspective on the great community spirit that has endured and also then fantastic innovation and progress the school has made.

 

I look forward with excitement to being part of that continued growth well into the future.

 

Kind Regards,

Matthew Mooney
