Application deadline Monday, February 2, 2026 (12:00 pm - noon). Applicant Selection
The Selection process is comprised of four stages.
Stage 1 – Application Screening – The application is assessed. Candidates possessing the required qualifications, skills, abilities and personal attributes will proceed to the next stage.
Stage 2 – Reference Checking – References will be processed.
Stage 3 – Formal Interview – Applicants selected for interviews will be determined through an assessment of evidence provided in the application and feedback gained through the referencing process.
Stage 4 – Selection – The Director of Education in consultation with Executive Council will make appointments to our Principal and Vice Principal Short Lists based on qualifications, references and assessments from the interview committee. As in-school administrative vacancies are identified placements will be made (in most cases) from the respective short lists. Should a short list be depleted Executive Council may make appointments from the interview list or call for a second round of applications/interviews.
Practices Surrounding Interviewing of Candidates
A committee will be established to interview selected applicants to help determine their suitability as a school-based administrator. The composition of the committee will attempt to reflect the diversity which exists in our school division.
