It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school community.

At Cannington Community College, our purpose is to empower students to contribute positively to society and to shape their futures using knowledge and skills developed in partnership with families and the wider community.  

What a wonderful position we are in to make that happen! As a purpose-built Kindy to Year 10 College, we support your child through the years to help them achieve their goals. The nature of our unique site means that we have a wonderful opportunity to create meaningful relationships with our students. This also means that our students can take advantage of continuous shared relationships with staff and their peers.

As principal, I am dedicated to leading a school that is committed to inclusive practices that ensure that all students feel a sense of belonging and connection to our school. I believe that creating and maintaining a positive school climate is fundamental to school success. We do this in a variety of ways, but most recently with the re-launch of the Positive Behaviour Support approach in Semester Two 2024. This approach centres our values and behaviour expectations with an explicit focus on Pride, Excellence, Respect and Responsibility.

I am committed to enabling our students to be the best that they can be by driving expectation, providing challenges, and guiding them to achieve their academic, moral and emotional development. I believe, strong relationships, built on trust and credibility, with staff, students, families and the wider school community, are an essential ingredient for student success.

I look forward meeting you and your child and helping them achieve their goals.
