I would like to welcome Hannah who recently joined the Secretariat in her role as Education Officer.
Hannah’s role at QCEC will include supporting Catholic School Authorities with compliance with the conditions of the Non-Government Reform Support Fund (NGRSF) and overseeing QCEC centralised activities and those agreed to in the RI/PJP 2021 NGRSF Workplan.
Hannah has taken leave from her role at Iona College where she is a Senior Secondary teacher. Her wealth of experience in education will be of great value to QCEC and I look forward to working with Hannah in 2021.
