Principal Message
Welcome to Junee High School. It is my privilege to be providing the welcome to our website, as current Principal of this fine school.
As the Principal of the school, there are many responsibilities that come with the position. I consider the highest responsibility as providing an excellent place to learn and to give people opportunities for their own journey. I know that everyone is on their own journey, have different goals, and come from different backgrounds. A student’s learning journey lasts with us for only a few years, but we need to be providing people with options to take, problems to solve, strengths to discover and relationships to build.
I love working with staff to help them support students and provide great possibilities for them.
It is great to work with parents and community members to discover about their children and how the community can work with our school,
Importantly, it is the students that inspire me to keep making improvements and giving them the chance to fulfil whatever their potential is.
Thank you for being part of our school community and working with us.
