Staffing announcement: Director of Professional Practice (Year 7–Year 12)

After a very rigorous selection process from an outstanding pool of applicants from all sectors, I am pleased to announce that Amy Murphy has been appointed as Director of Professional Practice (Year 7–Year 12). Amy joins us from Lindfield Learning Village, bringing a wealth of experience from her previous roles such as Deputy Principal – Instructional Leader, Deputy Principal – Wellbeing, Head Teacher Secondary Studies, Head Teacher Creative and Performing Arts, and Head Teacher High Potential and Gifted Education. Prior to working at Lindfield, Amy was employed at James Ruse Agricultural School.

Amy has been extensively involved with NESA as a consultant, writer and marker for HSC Drama. She is well published in her discipline and is a passionate teacher of both HSC Drama and English Advanced and Extension.

The Director of Professional Practice role is a key piece in MLC School’s improvement strategy. Supported by other key academic leaders, Amy will drive excellent classroom teaching practice, shaping our ongoing professional learning. In the Junior School, Sonia Weston continues to shape the classroom practice of teachers in her capacity as Deputy Head of Junior School – Curriculum.  

We look forward to welcoming Amy to MLC School at the start of Term 3.
