Induction of new School Principal, Ms Ros Curtis

7 February 2011

 

2011 heralded in a new era for St Margaret's with the induction of a new School Principal.

The fourteenth Principal of St Margaret's Anglican Girls School, Ros Curtis, the new Deputy Principal, Michelle Carroll, and the Student Leaders for 2011, were officially inducted into the School community at a Ceremony presided over by the Right Reverend Dr Jonathan Holland on 7 February.

At the Ceremony, Ros reflected on her past experience, spanning 25 years predominantly across some of Queensland's leading independent girls' schools, and more recently her role as Deputy Principal of St Aidan's Anglican Girls' School.

Ros said she was "enthusiastic" to seize opportunities to participate in all areas of School life.

"I am a firm believer in the saying 'actions speak louder than words', and will contribute to the wider St Margaret's community and be driven by what can make a difference," she said.

"Being a good leader is more than simply being at the forefront of the crowd, or by virtue of positional leadership.  A good school leader must be active and make choices every day which serve the needs of the larger group and help to improve and further develop the school.

"Therefore, my actions, as the leader of the School, are based on one main goal - to turn this great School into an even greater one where all girls are assisted in the achievement of their personal best, whether it be in academic endeavours or alternative pathways.

"I am very privileged to be in the role of Principal of St Margaret's and am looking forward to leading the School in the next phase of its growth and development."
