Dear PBC Community,

It is a true privilege to undertake the Executive Principal position in Chris Capra’s absence.

I have held leadership roles on the Gold Coast since 1996.  During this time, I have admired the innovation and success of PBC and am looking forward to contributing positively to this work.

I am passionate about student improvement which is targeted at their individual need and supported by expert teachers and support staff.  I also have a focus on student effort and behaviour with the expectation that students achieve high levels in both.  This forms the foundation for their learning progression.

Throughout the rest of this term I will be active in meeting staff, students and community members to understand the PBC way of working.  Every school has its own unique actions which is part of the challenge but also the excitement of starting in a new school. 

I look forward to meeting many of you in the near future.

Chris Kern
Executive Principal
