The successful applicant will demonstrate excellent judgement, discretion, confidentiality and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a busy school environment. The role requires someone who is proactive, dependable and highly organised, with the capacity to anticipate needs, manage sensitive matters appropriately and ensure important tasks are followed through to completion.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the Principal’s diary, appointments, meetings and priorities.
• Prepare agendas, meeting papers, minutes and follow-up actions.
• Draft, proofread and manage professional correspondence.
• Monitor deadlines and follow up outstanding actions.
• Maintain accurate and confidential records and documentation.
• Coordinate meetings with staff, parents and other stakeholders.
• Assist with reports, presentations, staff briefings and school documentation.
• Manage enquiries and appropriately prioritise matters requiring the principal’s attention.
• Liaise professionally with Assistant Principals, Heads of Learning Area, coordinators, teachers and administration staff.
• Provide high-level administrative support to ensure the efficient and effective operation of the Principal’s Office.
• Undertake other reasonable duties consistent with the position, as directed by the Executive Principal or High School Principal.

The interested applicants must have:

• Excellent organisational and time‑management skills.
• High-level written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Absolute discretion and confidentiality.
• Sound judgement and the ability to prioritise urgent and sensitive matters.

• A commitment to the Islamic ethos, values and culture of the College, consistent with existing High School leadership expectations.
• Previous experience as a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant or in senior school administration will be highly regarded.
