I feel very privileged to be the Principal of such a wonderful school.

My aim for Blakehurst High School is to continue to build on its excellence; to work with the school community and improve on our achievements.  Recent academic results show steady growth and that the staff is committed to ensuring it continues.

I am sure that by working together with the whole school community, we can make Blakehurst High School even better than it already is today.
