EMANUEL School announced today the appointment of Anne Hastings as its new principal, to replace Dr Bruce Carter, who is retiring at the end of this year.
Hastings, who is currently deputy principal of years k-12 at Kambala, will take up her post from January 1, 2010.
Hastings said she was looking forward to leading a Jewish day school.
“The values of Emanuel School, such as commitment to excellence, empowerment, fulfilment, inclusivity and social responsibility, reflect my own,” she said.
Announcing her appointment, Emanuel president Jonathan Sesel described Hastings as having “a proven track record as an outstanding Australian educator and leader”.
“The Emanuel Board is entirely confident that under her leadership, Emanuel School will rise to new heights of excellence, building on the strong foundations established by Dr Carter over the past eight years,” Sesel said.
Her appointment follows an intensive six-month search across Australia and overseas.
Dr Carter said: “Her reputation in schools is already strongly established. ¬†Mrs Hastings clearly has the experience, the insight, the intelligence, the vision and the compassion to take this very successful and happy school to even greater heights.”
