Our Principal and Staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome
At Barrenjoey High School, our vision is to deliver high-quality education in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment, where every student can thrive in their areas of passion and interest.
Through strong community collaboration and partnerships, we aim to cultivate respectful citizens, future leaders, and lifelong learners who embody respect, confidence, pride, and resilience.
Our guiding principles—Respect, Effort, and Challenge—shape every aspect of our school culture.
It is my honour to lead this close-knit community, and I am fully committed to ensuring that Barrenjoey continues to be a place where every student feels valued, every teacher feels empowered, and every member of our school community feels proud.
My vision for our school is simple: to inspire and build the capacity of both staff and students to realise their full potential. Together, we will achieve this.
