  • Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
  • Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
  • Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.

  • A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
  • Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
