  • Coordinate academic pathways, university counseling, and individualized student plans to achieve diverse post-secondary outcomes.
  • Foster a positive, inclusive, professional, internationally minded campus culture.
  • Manage day-to-day operations (timetabling, events, facilities coordination, and safety) to ensure smooth, compliant running.
  • Strengthen parent-school communication and trust, and represent the division with authorities, exam boards, partners, and accreditation bodies.
