An exciting opportunity exists for a Principal (PR8) to lead an integrated campus comprising the established primary school and a new Special School with Woogaroo Creek State School in Springfield-Redbank.

As Principal, you will lead both settings as one connected campus, fostering a cohesive culture grounded in high expectations, inclusion and shared responsibility for every student's success. You will build on the strengths of the established primary school while guiding the development, staffing and strategic direction of the new Special School.

You will shape structures that enable collaboration between staff across both settings, promote inclusive participation in academic, cultural and community life, and ensure effective governance and resource management across the integrated campus.
This is a significant opportunity to shape an inclusive, collaborative school community and make a lasting difference for students and families.
