Burdekin Catholic High School, celebrating 50 years this year as a Catholic co-educational secondary school in the Burdekin District, is delighted to welcome their new Principal, Mrs Lorraine Wolffe.
Lorraine joins the school with more than 38 years’ experience in education, including, 30 years in Senior Leadership positions.
Mrs Wolffe said “I am looking forward to a community that has a strong culture that values learning and places student wellbeing, care and growth at the heart of its vision.
I am very much looking forward to again being part of a College with a Marist charism. I was educated in the Marist way at St Peter Claver College, Riverview and was Assistant Principal of Chanel College, Gladstone for 16 years. Returning to the Marist charism fills my heart with joy. I am inspired by Marcellin Champagnat and his belief ‘to educate children well we must love them, and love them all equally.’
“I am looking forward to working in a co-educational environment where I am committed to supporting our young men and women to take their place in the world with courage and confidence and the ability and will to positively influence their own lives and the world around them.
The high expectations and the academic success of BCHS is to be admired. The Class of 2023 student achievement was exceptional, with a highest ATAR of 99.55 and 47% of the cohort receiving an 80+ ATAR result reflects a school with a focused academic education.
In addition, the number of apprenticeships and traineeships gained by students graduating demonstrates the faith employers of this local region have in the young people of BCHS.
I am very excited to meet the young people of BCHS as we welcome them back to school. I see a very bright future for BCHS with an enrolment growth to start 2024.
“My husband and I are excited to begin our new adventure in Ayr and I look forward to getting to know the BCHS and wider Burdekin community.”
