Principal (Commencing 2024)

After 10 years of outstanding leadership as Principal of Mt Evelyn Christian School, Narelle Sketcher has announced her intention to conclude her time of service to the school at the end of 2023. As a consequence, the Board of Mt Evelyn Christian School is calling for applications from experienced and passionate Christian educators for the position of PRINCIPAL of Mt Evelyn Christian School, commencing January 2024.

With MECS celebrating its 50^th anniversary in 2023, this is an exciting opportunity to lead a widely respected, multi-campus school of more than 800 students into its next stage of providing high quality and distinctively Christian education.  A Kindergarten to Year 12 Campus is located in Mt Evelyn in the outer east of Melbourne and has an enrolment of 720 students.  Ranges  TEC, situated in nearby Lilydale, provides vocational education to more than 80 students.  Ranges TEC also operates a small community farm in Monbulk for its horticultural and building studies. The Principal is responsible for both campuses, supported by an experienced Executive Leadership Team.

The appointee will be a respected and experienced educational leader with a strong commitment to Christian Education as understood in CEN schools, well-developed strategic leadership skills, the ability to foster a positive learning culture and the capacity to manage a complex educational environment.
