Introducing our new Director of Studies

IGS is pleased to announce the appointment of Joanne Sarmiento as our new Director of Studies

Jo brings with her deep experience and a strong track record in educational leadership across a range of school settings. A Humanities teacher with a passion for Geography and Commerce, she has held senior leadership roles including Head of Middle Years and IB MYP Coordinator at MLC, and more recently Director of Students and Deputy Principal (Wellbeing and Boarding) at Kambala.

 

This new role assumes the responsibilities of the Head of Academic Data role, currently occupied by Dean Mackrell, in areas including timetabling, academic guidance and subject selection, assessment and reporting.

To ensure a smooth and thorough transition, Dean Mackrell will remain in his current role until the end of Term 1, working closely with Jo during this period. We thank Dean for his service throughout his time in his role.

Jo is delighted to be part of our community, and we look forward to the contribution she will make as she steps into this important role.
