To be an effective Principal requires dedication, expertise, leadership, and courage. Principals are required to lead the school in the areas of vision and values as well as knowledge and understanding. This requires emotional intelligence, empathy, resilience and personal wellbeing.

Steve Freeman, our Principal, is experienced and highly regarded, leading effectively and contributing positively to the lives and learning of the children in our school community. We appreciate Steve’s passion and love for learning, and driving our improvement work as effective learners. We value his wisdom, integrity and collaborative leadership.

This Friday, 2 August 2024, we acknowledge Steve’s unique place in our school. Parent network and staff will take the opportunity say THANK YOU for Steve’s dedication and contribution to Woodend School.
