New principal at Anglican Grammar

Cobram Anglican Grammar School (CAGS) and the Anglican Schools Commission Inc are excited to announce the appointment of Mr Keith Willett to the position of Principal of Cobram Anglican Grammar School.

Mr Willett’s appointment will be effective from Monday, July 13 following the retirement of Mr Steve Gale.

Mr Willett is currently the Deputy Principal and Head of Senior School at Cathedral College Wangaratta and holds both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Education from Deakin University.

Mr Willett began his career with the Office of Corrective Services before teaching for several years at Rushworth High School. 

He then moved to Galen Catholic College before a shift to Cathedral College Wangaratta where he has worked for the past seven years. 

Amongst other responsibilities, Mr Willett has been a teacher of english, history, geography and physical education, has been a year level coordinator, a subject coordinator, a middle school coordinator, a senior school coordinator and most recently, a Deputy Principal. 

Mr Willett is married to Carolyn and they have four children, Isaac, Tessa, Paris and Oliver.

“I have no doubt Keith will continue to build upon the strong Anglican foundations and strategic educational goals that continue to develop our school towards becoming the destination of choice for both students and staff in our local community and beyond,” CAGS School Council Chair Malcolm Kerr said.

“It would be usual for the school to host a function for families to meet a new principal though, due to COVID-19 restrictions, this will not be possible in the foreseeable future. 

“However, we will aim to arrange an opportunity to ‘meet’ Keith next term through social media and/or web conferencing.

“We are truly delighted in welcoming Keith and Carolyn as they become such an important part of the Cobram Anglican Grammar School community from July.”

Steve Gale will finish up at the end of term two, his last day being June 26.

Staff, students and everyone involved with Cobram Anglican Grammar wish Steve and wife Rhonda well in their retirement.
