Role description
Kildare Education Ministries invites inspiring Catholic educators with passion for holistic learning, and strengths in relational and strategic leadership, to consider Principalship of Clonard College Geelong.

Clonard is a girls’ school in the Brigidine tradition, with an enrolment of almost 1,000 students. The College strives to provide learning that is collaborative, dynamic, vibrant and purposeful. Inspired by the Gospel values of love, justice, service and peace, it prepares its graduates to live with compassion, learn with wonder and lead with courage. This learning community builds self-belief, integrity and confidence, and forms capable people of hope who are committed to justice and generous of heart.
Clonard provides a strong, progressive education in the Catholic tradition, preparing students to contribute to the emerging needs of our world. Following the examples of St Brigid, Nano Nagle and Daniel Delany and guided by Gospel values, it helps young women embody strength and kindliness.
