Meet your new principal
Introducing
Liz Swan
Principal
Bayswater Secondary College
[Liz Swan, Principal, Bayswater Secondary College]
I did a Graduate Diploma of Education at Melbourne University, started teaching, and once I got into the classroom working with students it was a bit of an "aha!" moment. I knew that that's where I was meant to be and this is what I was meant to be doing.
I believe our core purpose as educators is to ensure that every student has the right supports and the right pathways in place to get them where they want to go, to build on that sense of their own curiosity, explore and learn and grow – not just academically, but as people as well, so that once they finish school they're heading out into the world as really well-rounded, well-adjusted, competent, empathetic citizens of the world, who can really make genuine contributions to society.
So day one you will find me out and about in the yard, out the front talking to students and parents as they come in, I really can't wait to meet you all.
