Ravenswood seeks to appoint a Deputy Principal - Head of Senior School. This is a newly formed role that reflects our substantial growth in the last decade to over 1,450 students and our desire to ensure that Ravenswood continues to be known for the superb care we offer every girl, and for providing her with a rich and supportive environment that ignites her individual areas of passion and opens her eyes to all that is possible. We are a vibrant community of learners, with a genuine culture of inclusion and acceptance of all, and the strong desire to foster a deep sense of belonging in each student. Our Uniting Church heritage and commitment to being a Positive Education school underpin the School’s Guiding Principles. Our outstanding staff are committed to excellence in all spheres of a girl’s school life. Ravenswood is flourishing, providing a strong base on which to build as we commence the development of our next strategic plan. We recognise how complex and uncertain the world is and our role in preparing our girls for a future where curiosity and new learning is not only desirable but vital, where optimism and resilience are required traits, enabling them to explore the opportunities and possibilities. The Deputy Principal - Head of Senior School will place the girls’ current and future needs at the forefront, ensuring that Ravenswood continues to evolve and to provide them with an exceptional holistic education.
