Principals are the foundation of a school system.
Just like how a parent creates a loving family environment, a principal is responsible for providing the best learning environment for its students.
It is definitely not an easy task, as it requires a great dedication and visionary leadership to be a good principal.
As the saying goes, “With great power comes great responsibility”. I’m sure that with a great principal, comes a great school too.
Annual Reshuffle Exercise
The Ministry of Education (MOE) will be conducting an annual reshuffling exercise for 40 schools to get new principals next year.
According to the ministry on Friday (18 October), this can help schools to gain new perspectives, while experienced principals can bring and share their best practices across schools.
Apart from experienced principals, there will be also first-time principals appointed to 21 of the schools in the exercise. These appointments will not only represent an important career milestone, but also grant bigger responsibilities for them.
Previous Appointments
Some of these first-time principals are currently vice-principals at their respective schools. These include Mr Kevin Pang Chin Keat, who will lead Yuhua Secondary School; Madam Tey Kah Hwee, who will head Ceder Girls’ Secondary; and Ms Poh Qinyu, who will helm Tao Nan School.
In addition, Madam Haslinda Zamani, who is currently a cluster superintendent with MOE, will head Raffles Girls School (Secondary).
On the other hand, Madam Soh Lai Leng, the present principal of Catholic High School, will move over to helm the NUS High School of Mathematics and Science.
Ceremony In December
There will be a ceremony in December where the 40 new principals will be receiving their letters of appointment from MOE’s director-general of education Wong Siew Hoong.
Our Education Minister Ong Ye Kung will also be attending the ceremony.
During the ceremony, MOE will additionally acknowledge the contributions of retiring principals and senior education officers from its headquarters who have formerly served as principals.
Thank you for your hard work, principals! The schools would not be where they are without your effort and dedication.
