Stakeholder & School Partnerships: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with Whitney Public School leadership and staff, as well as other key partners including the TDSB, Ministry representatives, and community stakeholders.
Family & Community Relations: Foster strong relationships with families and contribute to a connected and supportive Centre community, promoting trust, communication, and engagement across all stakeholders.
Documentation & Operational Excellence: Ensure all policies, procedures, records, and documentation are accurate, current, and compliant with regulatory requirements, supporting strong operational integrity and accountability.
