Principal's message
"I believe education gives young people the tools for a better life—access to further learning, good jobs, healthy choices, and a sense of purpose. I’m committed to inclusion, fairness, and a culture of high expectations. I encourage students to believe in themselves and I expect staff to find the potential in each student, develop the talent and ultimately make the difference. I work closely with staff, students, and parents to build strong, respectful relationships. Together, we can create opportunities and support safety, happiness and success for all our students."
Ms Safija Bristina, R I Principal of Bowral High School
