Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

Welcome from our principal

I believe that educators have the power to change the direction of young lives and have a positive effect on the lives of future generations.

Teaching and learning require, planning, enthusiasm, desire, time and effort. I have great respect and appreciation for teachers and their work.

Learning is a joyous and never-ending process that leads to successful living and has a positive impact on our families and communities. I must set an example as a lifelong learner if I expect students, parents and teachers to be continuous learners.

As Principal of James Meehan High School I am ultimately responsible for the learning, safety, and emotional growth of our students and teachers. Only by working with every part of the community I can meet this responsibility. Working together we can provide the best possible education for all our children.

Tim Bordado, Principal of James Meehan High School
