As all good organizations do, we hold regular reviews of our processes. This year we had planned to undertake a review of our administrative operations and with the pending parenthood for Mel Bishop we chose to take a closer look at our academic leadership model as well.
Some of the outcomes of this review have already been activated. The role of Centre Manager and Administrative Assistant has been replaced with one position; Centre Administrator. The management of the Centre will now fall to the Deputy Head and Head of the Preparatory School. You may already have seen Mr. Sean Watt speaking with staff and joining in and sharing in the learning process with your child. Sean is a very experienced educator and administrator and brings strong and collaborative leadership to the environment.
You will also have noticed in the last few weeks, while Jeanine has been on annual leave, Jess Catt greeting you and the children as you enter the Centre. Jeanine will occupy the same space upon her return and the office she used to occupy will become a meeting room for private conversations or staff planning.
The next phase of our review will see a number of changes to our academic and pedagogical leadership. These will be overseen by our Director of Teaching and Learning, Mr. Kelvin Sparks. Kelvin has an excellent knowledge of early learning and will work with our staff to ensure our vision of inspiring excellence continues to occur for staff as well as our children.
In closing, I am sure you will agree, Jess has had a wonderful influence on us all over the last two weeks. We thank her for her willingness to serve our community.
Kind regards,
Neil Andary
Head of Preparatory School
