Seeking Excellent Staff
Angela Killingsworth has been Principal of Catholic College since 2006.
Angela has been a Principal in Melbourne and in Western Australia. She moved to Wodonga with her family seeking, once again, a rural setting in which she could thrive professionally. The entire family believes that it was a great move!
Angela seeks staff who share in the central mission of the school: to create a learning environment where the relationship between teacher and learner is the base from which quality outcomes are most likely to be derived. Like Jesus, excellent staff enjoy spending time with young people in a purposeful way. It is not enough to like young people:
-
excellent staff seek to creatively encourage and skill students to live effectively in the present and future;
-
excellent staff have strong ethics and unwaveringly treat young people with respect, offering humour to lighten, and light up, the day;
-
excellent staff share their wisdom and talents with young people.
All adults who share the school day with young people have the capacity to effect them positively. Therefore it is not just the teachers who share these convictions and way of being.
Even if there are no positions currently available, contact Angela by

or by sending in your Curriculum Vitae and a letter expressing what you are seeking. Whilst staff turnover is relatively low, we are a growing College often seeking permanent, casual or replacement staff.
Leadership Positions
In 2009, we created a new Organisational Structure that began with research on the current model and much deliberation on what was needed in a new model. Roles were written and staff appointed. Please refer to the model structure for more detailed information.
Leadership Model Structure
All Leadership roles at Catholic College have as their ultimate focus the improvement of learning outcomes for students. Since student outcomes are largely influenced by the capacity of the teacher, improving the quality of teacher interaction and instruction is critically embedded in the focus. Therefore Leadership is not; representative, nor principally the management of resources, naval gazing only or power tripping! Leadership is: An extension of what every effective teacher does every day. It is about finding solutions to problems by thinking, creating and by doing some of the hack work for others. We need to be optimistic and future-focused. We should also be constantly critiquing what is in practice, seeking new and better ways of doing things. Our Leaders are called to act with integrity, honour and courage. They will get the best from everyone if they build trust and enable staff to plumb the depths of their capacity.
If you find a synergy between your beliefs and those of Catholic College, then enquire too about a Leadership position. I am always happy to engage in discussion about peoples career aspirations.
