New Principal

It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility that I introduce myself as the new principal of Willowbridge School. I was teacher in Elmbrook Special School, prior to our amalgamation to become Willowbridge, since 2007. Before being appointed Principal, I was a senior teacher and then more recently the Acting Vice Principal. 

I am truly honoured to have been appointed Principal to this incredible school community, where I know excellence in teaching and learning and ethos is a shared commitment. 

As an educator, I have always believed in the power of education to transform lives. Every pupil who walks through our doors holds limitless potential, and it is our duty to nurture that potential by creating a learning environment that is supportive, challenging, and engaging. My vision is to build upon the strengths that already make our school a place of pride and to continue fostering an atmosphere where every pupil feels valued, inspired, and empowered to achieve their best. 

I am especially excited to work collaboratively with our dedicated teachers, supportive staff, and involved parents to ensure we are meeting the needs of each child. Education is a partnership, and by working together, we can create meaningful opportunities that prepare our pupils not only for academic success but for life beyond the classroom. 

I look forward to the exciting journey ahead, filled with learning, growth, and accomplishments. Together, we can build a brighter future for every pupil at Willowbridge. 

Warm regards,   

Joanne Gray
