DEC Structural Changes

A Change Of Leadership

Last Term I advised that we no longer have a Regional Director, Western NSW following changes within the Department of Education and Communities. Instead, what was NSW Western Region now has grown to absorb much of what was previously the Riverina Region and the South Coast Region. Our new Executive Director is Dail McGilchrist. This means that NSW, with these changes is now divided into four geographic areas where previously there were ten. Our immediate Line supervisor was our School Education Director. This position has been replaced by a Director of Public Schools NSW, Mr Michael Cronk (Previously a School Education Director of the Warrumbungles School Education Group). Mr Cronk comes to us with a highly commendable reputation and wide experiences and we will look forward to benefitting from his professional support and guidance.

Where, previously we belonged to the Dubbo School Education Group, we now belong to the Macquarie Network of Schools. Our previous School Education Director, Ann-marie Furney, chose not to reapply for a new position preferring to pursue a new career option.

Ann-marie was a fabulous leader. She was passionate about supporting our Region's goals and aspirations and always kept children uppermost in her planning, care and expectations. Her intelligence and her passion made her an outstanding leader and I pay my respects for having had the privilege of working with her and a vested interest she held for the Wellington community and our school.
