st. lucy’s welcomes new principal, robyn carroll
S
t. Lucy’s is pleased to announce the search for a new principal has concluded, and it is with great enthusiasm that we introduce Robyn Carroll as the next Principal of St. Lucy’s Priory High School. Ms. Carroll is an exceptionally strong, collaborative and effective leader with classroom and administrative experience combined with a strong and active Catholic faith.
Ms. Carroll has devoted her career to Catholic education and faith development, with over 15 years’ experience as an educational leader in the Catholic schools’ system of Australia. During her time at Mary MacKillop College, a Catholic girls high school in Kensington, South Australia, she created and built the music department while serving as Director of Student Support and Daily Administration. She later moved into the Director of Development, Community and Culture role and served as a member of the College Leadership Team, working closely with the Principal on the effective running of the school. Ms. Carroll received her Bachelor of Arts and Post-Graduate Diploma in Education from the University of Adelaide. Ms. Carroll also was the Manager of Archdiocesan Special Projects and Events in the Archdiocese of Adelaide, South Australia. She served on the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission, the Ecumenical and Interfaith Commission and Diocesan Work, Health and Safety Commission. She also was a member of the Adelaide Cathedral Liturgy Committee. As part of this leadership transition, Sister Helen Dziuk will move into a Principal Emeritus role, providing mentorship and guidance to Ms. Carroll as she acclimates to St. Lucy’s. St. Lucy’s is deeply grateful for all Sister Helen has given to the school over the years, and is indebted to her for her strong vision and unwavering commitment to the school community. St. Lucy’s is delighted to have Ms. Carroll with her energy and passion for Catholic secondary education join our leadership team, and we are confident she will build upon the strengths of our school as we evolve into this new phase of leadership.
I eagerly anticipate the future at St. Lucy’s, steeped in the legacy of the Benedictines and a place where we teach young women to be creative and collaborative learners. —Robyn Carroll
