Alex is a passionate educational leader who has worked in a variety of educational

contexts, across a number of regions, spanning the Goldfields, Mid West, North and
South Metropolitan regions.
As a teacher for several years, Alex has worked as a Deputy Principal since 2008
and has also undertaken the role of Principal in several schools during this time.
Alexs ability to draw upon and apply his extensive knowledge of contemporary and
evidence based educational research has seen him gain a reputation for developing
many innovative and best practice initiatives that have led to significant regional and
school level improvement.
As a principal I believe that developing the necessary cultural conditions for learning
to be visible at all levels students, staff and the community is vital. Students must
be active in their learning and should be able to know about their learning and plan
for and articulate their next learning steps. Staff must use student assessment to
drive professional conversations about learning and inform their practice and the
community must be responsive in working in partnership with the school to support
their children in learning.
When learning is visible and explicit to students, a significant positive impact on
learning can be achieved.
