Head of Senior School Appointment

Anna joins us from Haileybury College, where, as Head of Senior Girls, she held pastoral, academic, and cultural oversight for all girls in Years 9–12, overseeing approximately 1,000 students across a complex multi-campus portfolio and leading the Heads of House pastoral team. In her current role as Head of Senior School Wellbeing, Anna leads a large team of pastoral staff across multiple campuses, driving the development of a proactive, research-informed wellbeing program that fosters a supportive and inclusive environment for students. An accomplished mathematics teacher and instructional coach, Anna brings deep experience to Mentone Girls’ Grammar in senior school leadership, wellbeing, and pedagogy.

Anna is a passionate advocate for girls’ education, committed to creating safe and empowering spaces where young women can find their voice, develop agency and build strong connections. Her leadership is grounded in the principles of positive education, shaped by a clear understanding of student needs, and informed by best practice research and strategic intent.

She believes in the transformative power of education to develop confident, capable and compassionate young women – students who recognise their responsibilities to themselves and to others. Anna sees the role of Head of Senior School as pivotal in helping students understand who they are and how they can contribute to the world. She is honoured to take on this position and is committed to leading with authenticity, compassion and conviction.
