Ms Sheree Rose

Personal message: As a leader and educator, I believe that every student deserves an education of the highest quality in an environment where each person is known, valued and cared for. I am a strong advocate for providing students with authentic learning experiences that are relevant and challenging, developing a genuine love of learning that lasts a lifetime. In collaboration with teachers, I embrace new ideas and explore contemporary, research-based pedagogies to best meet the needs of the full spectrum of learners. Thankful for my own Catholic education, I am committed to developing a thriving Catholic community at St Aloysius based on respectful relationships and effective school-family-parish partnerships as part of the greater mission of the Church.

Statement of areas of responsibility: As Principal, I support our parish Priest Fr James McCarthy in the evangelising mission of the Church. I am committed to developing a contemporary, student-centric learning culture focused upon quality professional learning and high expectations of every student. My role is to inspire, support and empower staff and students to strive for excellence and live out our Mercy values each day.

Professional experience: I am a passionate, dynamic K-6 educator with experience in a diverse set of teaching and leadership roles spanning a twenty-plus year career in education. I have held the leadership positions of Assistant Principal at St Aloysius (2022) and Holy Family Catholic Primary School Menai (2009–2013), in addition to Religious Education Coordinator across two schools. I have worked as a Leader of Learning: Early Years (2014–2016) and Leader of Learning: English as an Additional Language or Dialect (2017–2020) at the Sydney Catholic Schools Southern Region Office, where I built teacher capacity through professional learning and in-class support. I hold a Master of Educational Leadership, Master of Religious Education and postgraduate qualifications in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have a specialised interest in literacy and language development.
