Following a recruitment process including interviewing by a panel of people consisting of Karen Richards (Catholic Education Office and Chair), Fr Joe Nguyen (All Saints Parish Priest), Lisa Tyson, a Nazareth parent representative and myself, I am pleased to announce that Mr Andrew Edwards has been appointed as the Acting Assistant Principal at Nazareth for the 2023 school year.

On behalf of the Nazareth School Community I congratulate Andrew and wish him all the best in his new role.

As a result of a recruitment process including interviewing by Lisa Tyson and myself I am pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Amy Scurr to Nazareth for the 2023 school year. Amy has taught at several Diocesan schools including the last 3 years teaching at St Michael’s Catholic Primary School Nowra. Also, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Tim Messner to Nazareth for Terms 1 – 3 2023.
