Dear Copperfield School Community,
I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Principal of Copperfield School. It is with great enthusiasm and dedication that I join the staff to serve this vibrant community. I look forward to working closely with Mr. Magowan, Mr. Patry and the rest of the school staff to ensure a smooth transition.
I have enjoyed working in elementary education for the past 31 years, ranging from classroom teaching to administrative roles. I bring a deep commitment to fostering an inclusive and nurturing learning environment where every child can thrive. My approach to education is grounded in collaboration, open communication, and the belief in the potential for every student.
As we begin this new chapter, I prioritize building strong relationships with students, staff, parents and the wider community. I believe that working as partners we are best able to continue to nourish this wonderful learning community. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, ideas or concerns you may have. My door is always open, and I am here to support you any way I can.
Warm Regards,
Colette Pedde
