With his passion for teaching and learning, coupled with his strong leadership skills, we are ready to see how Robert’s leadership can continue to contribute to the shaping of our Primary School’s future.
Personal Experiences

As Acting Head of Primary School, Robert has set his sights on achieving a number of important goals at Léman. One of his top priorities will be to ensure that the quality of teaching and learning are outstanding in all subject areas of the Primary School. This will involve working closely with his team of dedicated educators to develop and implement effective teaching strategies, as well as providing ongoing support and training to ensure that all staff are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Robert is also committed to fostering a positive and inclusive school culture that values diversity, promotes respect, and encourages collaboration. He believes that a school is not just a place of learning, but also a community where students, teachers, parents, and guardians come together to support one another.
In addition to these goals, Robert is also committed to ensuring that all students at Léman have access to a well-rounded education that prepares them for success both academically and in life. He is passionate about providing opportunities for students to develop their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, and is dedicated to working with his team to provide a challenging, nurturing, and enriching learning experience for all students.

By focusing on these priorities and working collaboratively with Mrs. Tracy Connor, Mr. Paul Highdale and his team, he is confident that he can help to create a school environment that is both supportive and challenging, and that prepares students for success in a rapidly changing world. We are excited to see the many successes that lie ahead for our Primary School at Léman.
