Staff and students at Don Bosco Primary School in Narre Warren will have a fresh start to the new year, as the school community welcomes its new principal Treasa Barwick.
Mrs Barwick has served as a teacher of young people and a leader in Catholic schools for more than 15 years.
Her most recent role has been as Deputy Learning and Teaching Leader at St Thomas the Apostle Primary School, Cranbourne East.
Mrs Barwick said she was keenly awaiting the next stage in her professional journey as a leader within the Diocese of Sale.
“I am looking forward to meeting and walking alongside the students, families and staff at Don Bosco, knowing that together with the wider parish of Our Lady Help of Christians; we can continue to create an inclusive Catholic learning environment where all children are known, safe and catered for at their point of need,” she said.
“I hope to make really strong learning partnerships with the families and staff, getting to know the community and how we can work together to improve learning opportunities for the students in our care.”
Director of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Sale Maria Kirkwood said the change in leadership at the school was an opportunity for the school to look towards the future.
“Mrs Barwick has an approach to education that reflects the aspirations of our Catholic communities, to live our faith in service to others and to spread the message of hope in the world. I look forward to supporting her continued leadership journey in the coming years,” she said.
