Dear New Hanwell School Students and Families,
It is with great excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the Principal of our Brand New School in Hanwell. I am honoured to have the opportunity in helping to shape our brand new learning community as a model of teaching and learning for the next century.
I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than thirty years. I have worked, in a variety of roles, with students ranging in age from 3rd grade through high school. I was a mathematics and science teacher for twelve years before taking on a position as curriculum consultant Math and Science K-12 for the New Brunswick Department of Education. I also worked as a Secondary Supervisor in both Woodstock and Fredericton. Most recently, I have served as Principal of George Street Middle School. I am thrilled to bring my skills as an educational leader to the new Hanwell School and to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child’s success.
I view education as a life-long process and expect that I will continue to learn much about the uniqueness of our community and the relationship the school will play in the years to come. Most importantly, I bring a belief that students are at the center of all school-related decisions. I am excited to unite my experience, my openness to learn, and my child-centered approach to support our students. Because the relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our students, I encourage you to become involved in every way possible.
I look forward to meeting you and your child throughout the school year and throughout the school.
