MBIS

Dear Alumni,

It is with great pleasure that I have assumed the role of Supervising Principal at Marist. While only at the commencement stage I am very excited to join a team of dedicated teachers, staff, parents, students and alumni who share in the traditions of the school and take pride in what can be collectively achieved. The strength of the Alumni speaks volumes for the continued success over the years of the school and it is my wish to continue that success into the future.

I come to the school originally from Australia. I have taught and held administrative positions in such places as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Korea and most recently, in Kuwait. My teaching experiences have covered the full range, from pre-school Montessori classes through to MBA Business English classes. In all my teaching I have held to the belief that learning is for life, and that all of us are students. As we move through school and later through life we are continually challenged to learn new skills, new ideas, and new ways of doing things.

To me, one of the foundations of any successful school lies in its alumni. As role models you inspire current students with your achievements. As supporters of school initiatives and events you bring breadth and depth to our school community. As financial donors you bring stability to the program and greater resources for our students. As leaders you bring a world view, and a vision of what is best for the future of the school. I look forward to meeting all of the alumni, and hope that you will be frequent visitors to the school throughout the coming school year.

It is great to be here at last. I wish you all a successful year ahead.

Regards,

Ed Fitzgerald
Supervising Principal
