Redefining leadership in regional education
Kathy Romano was tempted out of retirement by a six-month role as Head of Business Services at Trinity Anglican School. Since then she has enabled a transformation of the school’s finances, operations and student numbers.
Kathy was heavily involved in developing the school’s new business plan and has set the pace for its digital transformation journey. The School Principal, Paul Sjogren, attributes this to “her remarkable leadership and ability to see things through”.
Going above and beyond for the student experience
Leading the school’s operational master plan, Clair Applewaite has ensured upgrades have kept pace with enrolment growth at Rockhampton Girls’ Grammar School (RGGs).
Dedicated to transforming RGGS physically and digitally, Clair’s contribution to the ongoing development of the school facilities and processes has been pivotal, and her leadership is a driving force in the delivery of RGGS’ strategic vision to be the most outstanding regional, prep-12 all-girl day and boarding school in Queensland.
