Our Leadership Team
CHRIS GLADSTONE, PRINCIPAL
As a teacher for nearly 30 years - 27 of those at St Joseph's - Chris Gladstone was appointed Principal in 2017 after 19 years in the Deputy Principal role. Chris has a strong connection to St Mary’s Parish that began in 1976 as the place where she was married, her youngest child was baptised and she was confirmed into the Catholic faith. She is passionate about creating exciting learning for children based on the principles set out in the New Zealand and St Joseph’s School Curriculums, and is wholeheartedly committed to working with the school community to implement programmes that will ensure the success of all children within their personal ability.
