Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD) schools welcomed 10 new principals at the beginning of the 2023 school year.
School leaders recently gathered in Parramatta to prepare for their new leadership roles and plan for the school year ahead. The group includes four first-time principals, while others were excited to join a new school community.
Reflecting on the year ahead, there was a strong focus on supporting children, young people and their families to flourish in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains. Principals were invited to share their hopes for 2023, what they plan to achieve and their top tips for new school starters.
CSPD is excited to welcome the following new principals to their communities:
- Anita Knezevic to Good Shepherd Primary Plumpton.
- Annelise Stockey to St Matthew’s Primary Windsor.
- Donna McFadzean to Holy Family Primary Luddenham.
- Lisa Samojlowicz to St Bernadette’s Primary Lalor Park.
- Margaret Rowan to Holy Family Primary Emerton.
