Cover Letter, Resume and Selection Criteria

COVER LETTER

Dear Mr. Keating,

Re: JOB APPLICATION

I am writing to seeking the advertised position of Assistant Principal at Mackillop College, Port Macquarie. For a long time, I have been passionately devoted toward promoting well-being in education and am thrilled to see that your college is committed to the betterment of young people and the many aspects that serve them. I believe I can offer you a tremendous amount of expertise in human resources management, educational leadership, and student/staff well-being with over 23 years of leadership experience in Catholic Education along with substantial postgraduate degrees.

I have taught Religious Education, Music, Drama, Remedial English, IT, Special Needs, Physical Education, Health, Pastoral Care Program (Student Welfare), Careers Education, Vocational Studies and coordinated many aspects of these programs for many years. I have also coordinated the staff professional development for ESO and teaching staff and served as Deputy Principal at Goldfields Baptist College. My senior leadership experience includes roles related to physical infrastructure and resources, timetabling, budgeting, financial management, staff development, and staff appraisal. During this time, I was also involved in policy writing and implementation, staff and curriculum handbook development, behavior and welfare management, liaising with community groups, educational organizations and the general community at large and staff / student management of well-being.

As a current Pastoral Leader at Good Shepherd Catholic College, I am involved in several programs related to the promotion of well-being. My experience and research have all proven to me the need for curriculum and program development that emphasizes well-being factors. I am eager to apply my visionary leadership skills to support St. Mary's score values.

I will be honored if you could review my enclosed resume and application so that we can explore the many possibilities of promoting well-being and pastoral care in your college. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this position with you further in person.

Yours in Christ,

PSchipp

Mr. Phil Schipp B.A.B.Ed.M.Ed.Grad.Cert.M.A.C.E.
