 Jess WILSON (Kew) (10:04): Last week I attended the farewell assembly for principal Josie Millard at Kew High School. Josie is an inspirational leader and a true friend whose contributions to Kew High and the broader educational community have been and I have no doubt will continue to be nothing short of extraordinary. Josie leaves an impressive legacy at Kew High. She will be missed and remembered by students and staff alike – yes, because of her commitment to improving the school and its facilities and, yes, because of her advancement of the school’s approach to teaching and learning, but most importantly because she has fostered an inclusive school where every student and staff member is encouraged to reach their full potential in a compassionate environment that embraces individuality while creating a true sense of community. I wish Josie all the best for her next chapter as she takes on the role of principal at Berwick College.
