Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Families,

Yesterday we welcomed Professor Pasi Salhberg and Director of Future Schools Australia, Dave Runge to St Brigid’s.

Professor Sahlberg is a Finnish education expert, author and professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Previously, he has worked as a professor of practice at Harvard University at the World Bank, and as the director of the Centre for International Mobility in Finland.

Dave Runge works with educational organisations across Australia and internationally to build new systems and create innovative outcomes. As Director of Future Schools, Dave collaborates closely with executive leadership teams, boards, associations, and educational organisations, providing invaluable guidance to support educators to discover, design and implement innovative solutions.

Professor Salhberg and Mr Runge will work in partnership with Catholic Education Ballarat to co-design and implement our forthcoming Strategic Plan, marking a significant step in our journey towards becoming a high-performing system of Catholic schools.

Take care and God bless,

Jayne Bosworth
