TERRIE Jones has been appointed as the new principal of Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS).
Currently the head of St Michael’s Grammar School in Melbourne, Jones will start in her new role in October.
She was previously the deputy principal at Ravenswood School for Girls in Sydney, and director of service learning at Abbotsleigh also in Sydney.
“Canberra Girls Grammar School is a well-respected educational institution in Canberra, nationally and globally and it is my privilege to have the opportunity to lead such a strong, resilient school community at this stage in its history,” Jones said.
“I look forward to working with the staff to continue to support and enable students to develop confidence and thrive socially, emotionally and academically, while discovering their strengths and interests in school and beyond.”
Jones succeeds Anna Owen, who resigned as principal in December last year after three years in the role.
Julie Jorritsma has been acting as principal at the school since January.
