Wayne Speirs, Board Chair
Happy New Year to all our Kuyper families. The Kuyper Board and School Staff are excited to be partnering with you in the venture of Christian education this year. As we commence the new school year, I would like to formally welcome our Senior Leadership Team for 2025.
Mr Bill Rusin has commenced his role as Interim Principal (Monday to Wednesday), supported by Mr Tim White as Interim Deputy Principal (Thursday to Friday). Bill and Tim bring a wealth of experience in Christian education and school leadership to Kuyper. We are grateful to have such an experienced duo heading up our leadership team in 2025 as the Board undertakes the recruitment process for a permanent principal.
Mr Mitchell Cavens will join the Senior Leadership Team this year in his current role as Head of Secondary. Mitch has been with Kuyper for five years, initially as our Secondary Music Teacher and for the last twelve months as Head of Secondary. Our teaching staff has valued his leadership, and we are pleased to have him take on this increased responsibility. Please take the opportunity to congratulate Mitch on his appointment and pray for him in this new role.
Mrs Kae McCaull will continue on the Senior Leadership Team as Head of Primary. As a longstanding member of our teaching staff, we are grateful to Kae for the tremendous work she has already done in our Primary school and thank her for her ongoing commitment to the leadership of our school.
Miss Cassie Dixon will also continue as part of the Senior Leadership team this year in the role of Head of Teaching and Learning (P—12). I want to take this opportunity to thank Cassie for graciously sharing the Acting Principal role with Tim White at the end of last year and for her ongoing commitment to our Kuyper community. Please pray for Cassie in this important role.
The Kuyper Board commends our 2025 Senior Leadership Team to your prayers as they seek the Lord’s will in leading our school this year.
