Principal pays tribute to retiring colleague

Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina campus principal Mr Frank Gasper has paid tribute to Ms Pamela McAlister on her retirement as senior campus principal.

"I have had the privilege of working with her in a variety of roles, both of us being classroom teachers at Berkley Vale High School," said Mr Gasper.

"Our paths crossed again when we became deputy principals at Woy Woy and Umina, before we both became principals of our schools.

"She has been an outstanding educator, whose driving focus has always been the development of teaching and learning that achieves the best outcomes for her students.

"I will miss her as a colleague and thank her on behalf of the school community for the enormous contribution she has made to public education and more specifically to students at the College," said Mr Gasper.
