One of Whittlesea’s newest principals is vowing to build an active and supportive community at his new school.
Tim Kelly was announced as the principal of Wollert’s Glowrey Catholic Primary School last week, having previously been principal at Greenvale’s St Carlo Borromeo.
Mr Kelly said he had already set about building a school community and recruiting teachers who shared his vision for the school.
He said he was passionate about making sure a school is a place where students and staff want to be and where parents are part of the community.
“I am very driven to really build a community where parents, students and staff all feel a sense of belonging and ownership with a deep connection to being part of St Peter’s Parish,” Mr Kelly said.
“I want staff who are willing to go above and beyond to ensure every student is supported.”
The Baltrum Drive school is expected to open in 2019 and will accommodate about 500 students once complete.
Mr Kelly said he wanted to create a school where students were encouraged to take risks and dream big. He said he was looking forward to building a new school from the ground up.
“Glowrey will offer a wonderful contemporary learning environment where our new school vision will develop and grow as the school does,” Mr Kelly said.
“Glowrey will be a school where students come first. It will be a place of high quality education where each child’s learning and social and emotional needs will be catered for. It will be driven by a strong Catholic ethos.”
