FREDERICK IRWIN ANGLICAN SCHOOL

WARM WELCOME FOR NEW PRINCIPAL

Frederick Irwin Anglican School is excited to welcome new principal Tracey Gray who comes with many years of experience at Perth and Eastern States schools.

Tracey’s vision for Frederick Irwin has been shaped through many years of research in education and working with teachers, leaders, parents, and students and focusing on developing the whole child. Her business background adds an exciting dynamic to her management and focus, in relation to the School’s strategic planning and direction.

“My vision is for each child to flourish through purpose and belonging, achieve their potential, develop their gifts and have a heart for making a difference to others,” she said. This vision is shown through four pillars: • Relationships: developing positive relationships through compassion, care and a sense of belonging, • Mastery: providing quality academic success for every student through a range of pathways, • Service: fostering a heart for others and looking at ways to make a difference across the community, and, • Community: participating and contributing to the life of the school, church, community and the world as a whole. These pillars complement the school values that are fostered throughout the school of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Compassion, and Courage. In the first few weeks of Term Mrs Gray has overseen the many changes to COVID restrictions, along with the exciting installation of the new Halls Head Campus buildings. Term 1 has been a relatively smooth start to the year despite COVID Restrictions affecting the School’s ability to hold certain events and allow parents on campus. However, Mrs Gray is excited to see what 2022 brings, including the opening of the new Sports Centre towards the end of the year and her own Principal’s Commissioning towards the end of the term.
