Senior Leadership 2018

Sharon Anderson – Head of Senior School

PLC farewelled Sharon Anderson (pictured left) during Term 1, 2019 after almost 16 years of dedicated service. Starting at PLC as an English teacher in 2003, Ms Anderson held the position of Middle School English Co-ordinator until 2004. She was promoted to Head of Middle School in 2005, holding this position for 11 years before becoming the Head of Senior School in 2016.

Ms Anderson was well known for her fairness, openness and aff ection towards staff and students alike. She was fi rm when required, but always kind, compassionate and thoughtful in her approach and in her wish to assist both staff and students.

Ms Anderson repeatedly displayed her ability to turn her hand to anything, including walking the Bibbulmun Track with Year 9 girls, navigating the intricacies of guiding PLC girls in China (with minimal Mandarin skills) to coaching co-curricular netball and volleyball.

Ms Anderson leaves behind staff she encouraged, supported and fearlessly led, and students she nurtured, chivvied and shepherded into spectacular young women that are now Old Collegians. We sincerely thank Ms Anderson for her outstanding contribution and service to PLC and wish her all the best as she enters a new phase of her career outside PLC.
