Please be advised that Carmel Hanley, Principal Lumen Christi, Delacombe has generously agreed to act as Principal at Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC), Wendouree for the remainder of this year, commencing on Monday 12 August.
Similarly, Carmel's Deputy Principal, Shane Bruty will act as Principal at Lumen Christi.
Leigh Bradshaw has advised she will conclude her time as Principal of Our Lady Help of Christians at the end of this year. As you are aware, Leigh has been on personal leave since the start of term 2. Unfortunately, her leave will continue until the end of 2024.
Leigh began her Principalship at OLHC as a co-principal in 2016 and became sole Principal in 2018. As Executive Director of Catholic Education Ballarat, I offer my appreciation and gratitude to Leigh for her wonderful contribution to our diocesan community.
I also extend my gratitude to Anthony Clifford who has filled the interim Principal role at OLHC since the start of Term 2 with a deep sense of dedication, generosity and service.
To support the transition to a new principal of OLHC consultation and advertising for a replacement will commence shortly with the intent for the successful applicant to begin at the start of the 2025 school year.
