Leadership transitions are underway at the KAUST School In March Board Chair Nadhmi al Nasr, announced that Principal Leny de Ruijter will assume the position of School Director when Maddy Hewitt leaves in June 2017. Being actively involved with the School’s strategic development, the TKS Board of Education saw the opportunity to appoint Leny with her proven track record, to lead the school forward. This special edition of The WAVE is to communicate our leadership shifts and the transition plan that will allow Leny to smoothly assume the helm and for the school to undergo healthy transitions at every level.

Whole School Leadership The school is very fortunate that the Board has endorsed a transition period for Maddy and Leny during the Second Semester. During the transition Leny will assume the Director position in January 2017 while Maddy continues on at TKS as Advisor to Leny and the senior leadership team. Leny had previously accepted a lateral transfer to the Elementary School Principal position, to replace Kyle Brewerton and she will continue with this role for Semester One, from August 2016-January 2017. The school has appointed Assistant Principal Jeffrey Woodcock to the Elementary Principal role in January. Leny’s Note is available on page 4. A simple diagram on the next page shows the leadership transition for 2016/17.
