I am presently teaching one of the three Year 7 classes at St Eugene's, Burpengary. I have been a teacher now for 43 years and principal for 18 of those years as well as Supervisor of Schools for Wagga Wagga Diocese.

Being appointed as the first lay principal at St John's Roma was perhaps the greatest challenge in my career. It followed a more predictable course of small schools in the State system. To combine a primary and secondary school was a difficult task,made harder because of staff and some community opposition. My six years became a most rewarding time and saw success for the school.
