We own, govern and operate approximately 300 Catholic schools, employ over 16,000 staff, and serve more than 114,000 students and their families in the Archdiocese of Melbourne. It is an exciting time to join MACS, where we are transforming to bring to life our strategic plan, MACS 2030: Forming Lives to Enrich the World.

**YOUR ROLE**

As a Principal, you will be inspired to lead a joy-filled community where students, staff, and families can flourish within a Catholic context. Your leadership will enable the vision of the school to be realised, creating an environment where everyone can reach their full potential. The role of the Principal is one of the most important roles across the MACS system, as their faith and educational leadership enables the vision of the school to be realised. This role will work in collaboration with MACS, staff members, local Parish Priest, and the broader School community to achieve the identified goals of the School.

St Mary’s staff and families believe all children are entitled to a world class education. With access to the latest educational research, dedicated teachers passionately and lovingly cultivate a learning environment that feeds and grows the hearts, minds and souls of every student in their care. The current enrolment is 128 students.

A community minded, evidence based instructional leader with experience in student diversity and wellbeing practices is an important aspect of working at St. Mary’s. A strong knowledge of current learning and teaching practices and MACS directions in this area is essential.

The Parish Primary schools of St Mary's Hastings, St Brendan's Somerville and St Joseph's Crib Point as well as the Tyabb Campus of Padua College all form part of the Westernport Parish Community.

Students at St.Mary’s are surrounded by families and staff who nurture and challenge them to grow. At St Mary’s, staff recognise the importance of the home school partnership. A social and emotional school toolkit allows staff to strengthen this partnership and enables parents and students to draw upon skills and strategies that build a resilient, inclusive community where students can learn and flourish.
