In her own words, Dr Harris asserts that “education is the vocation through which I have chosen to make a difference.” Speaking on her move to Carmel School, she said “I feel honoured to have the privilege of leading Carmel School from 2022. I have a lot to learn and a lot to contribute; I have no doubt that it will be a fabulous experience. I can’t wait to meet the teachers and students who make the school a wonderful place to learn.”
Carmel Board President, Debbie Silbert said of the search for a new Principal, “Our selection process aimed to find a world-class educational leader who is a strong communicator, and who can connect with all aspects of the Perth Jewish and wider community.
You certainly have a prize with Julie Harris…..
