Principal and staff profiles
Welcome from our Principal
Ms Kirsty Hill, School Principal
As the Principal of McDonald Park School, I’d like to welcome you to our wonderful school community. At McDonald Park School we work collaboratively to develop respectful, thriving and engaged problem solvers.
I’m excited to lead this school because of its reputation for community involvement and its commitment to developing successful learners. I also get to work with a great team who are just as motivated as I am in promoting and developing considerate citizens for the future.
I’m passionate about making sure every student has the opportunity to succeed. I ensure we embrace learning to adapt and evolve our teaching practice in a cycle of continuous improvement. We embrace technology and provide opportunities for students to access IT and develop critical problem solving skills.
I encourage discussion and feedback to make sure we’re working in partnership to achieve the best learning outcome for your child.
