Moreton Bay, Australia Education Full time

**About Us**:
Griffin State School opened in 2016 with 260 students. Our school vision is 'Anchored in Excellence' and throughout the intensive establishment phase in the latter half of 2015 I worked closely with the community to bring this vision to fruition and create a school that would be the pride of the emerging suburb of Griffin.
Students at Griffin are privileged to be educated in a modern facility ensuring they have what they need to be successful 21st Century learners. Our staff are our greatest asset and as a team we've set high expectations for ourselves as educators and we work with conviction to achieve them. Staff focus relentlessly on achieving the very best for every student through the adoption of personalised, innovative and proven teaching strategies.
As principal my approach is highly personal and interactive. Knowing the students, their families and the staff and building highly effective teams that work collaboratively to ensure each child is given every opportunity to succeed, is at the heart of my work.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to;
- Lead the relevant curriculum areas or whole school program to develop, articulate and commit to a shared educational vision focussed on providing quality learning outcomes for all students.
