+C->CM@;L-? A Principal’s Role 2010 A Principal’s role is to lead the educational direction and purpose of the school. At Lindisfarne we believe that all students can excel. To do this they need high quality teachers who believe they can make a significant difference to the learning of all students. Research tells us that the ‘good teacher’ is the most important factor related to academic success, far outweighing all other factors such as family background and school wealth. Teacher effectiveness is the crucial driver of student achievement, and Lindisfarne, as an independent school, is able to select its own teachers to ensure that ‘quality teaching’ occurs in every classroom. Principal Chris Duncan To give your child the opportunity of an education at Lindisfarne or to book a tour of our breathtaking campus please contact us on 07 5590 5099 or [email protected]
