Our Staff

The Senior Leadership Team is composed of Head of School Ms Dorianne Mercieca and three Deputy Heads: Ms Rodianne Incorvaja, Ms Christine Azzopardi and Ms Stephanie McKay. The team is supported by 25 teachers, a guidance teacher, two Literacy/Complimentary teachers, 40 Learning Support Educators (LSEs), two library helpers, an IT technician, a secretary and a clerk, a receptionist, nine cleaners, two maintenance personnel, and a spiritual director. A Head of Inclusion visits weekly to support staff and students with inclusive teaching and individualised educational plans (IEPs).

All staff members work collaboratively to ensure that our students receive holistic support in both moral and academic learning. The school also benefits from psychosocial and inclusion support professionals provided by the Secretariat for Catholic Education, such as a counsellor, social worker, play therapist and an educational psychologist. Health professionals from the School Health Service visit regularly to monitor students’ well-being.
