This week was Primary Education Week, culminating in Primary Principals' Day today. We are so lucky at Geographe Primary School to have three amazing principals who each bring their own passion, strengths and commitment to our school community.
Mrs Alison Freeman has been an Associate Principal at Geographe PS for 13 years and is passionate about developing children who can think critically, creatively and for themselves. She has trained hundreds of teachers across WA to become accredited teachers of Philosophy in Schools and strongly believes that education should never be about producing children who all think, learn or achieve in the same way. She loves this photo because the T-shirt was gifted to her by staff in recognition of one of her favourite sayings: “I am not here to make sausages!” Mrs Freeman is a passionate advocate for an education that celebrates each child's uniqueness, builds on their individual strengths and gives them the confidence, curiosity and skills they need to shape their own future.
Mr Luke Ruane has been an Associate Principal at GPS for five years and is a passionate advocate for student and staff wellbeing. Mr Ruane brings genuine care, compassion and positivity to our school every day. He works tirelessly to ensure that all students, particularly those with additional needs, are supported, included and receiving the education they are entitled to. His commitment to making sure every child feels valued and has the opportunity to succeed is at the heart of everything he does.
Mr Kerimofski is our newest Principal, and while it has only been a year, he has already had such a positive impact on our school. Mr K loves seeing students become better versions of themselves, whether academically, socially or emotionally. He believes that watching students grow in their ability to think, learn and communicate is both a gift and a privilege.
All three of our principals feel incredibly honoured to work alongside the staff, students and families of Geographe Primary School. They are enormously proud of the way our whole school community works together, bringing different strengths, ideas and perspectives, to give every child the very best opportunity to learn, grow and become the person they are capable of being.
