Prospectus
It does not seem that long ago that Dr Deborah Priest was appointed as the 12th Principal of Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School, but this year marks five years since her appointment. The occurrence of the pandemic during that tenure has provided an interesting experience that none of us anticipated but has in no way constrained Dr Priest’s significant achievements as Principal.
An enhanced leadership structure, implemented by Dr Priest, has further enriched and supported student and staff wellbeing, and the passionate teaching and learning environment for which our school is known.
Academic achievement, including the success of our VCE students, continues to go from strength to strength, and we are now placed in the very enviable position of the best performing school in the north of Melbourne.
Strategic Plan projects have been progressed and achieved, including the important Facilities Masterplan which is well developed and will provide for innovations in teaching and learning into the future. This will form a wonderful basis for key developments for years to come.
Although it will be very sad to farewell her at the end of this year, we are very grateful for all her accomplishments and the legacy she will leave us with.
Mrs Karen Frost
Chair of the School Board
