SASPA Chief Executive, Kirsty Amos
We are excited to announce that the 2025+ SASPA Chief Executive is Kirsty Amos, previously Principal at Parafield Gardens High School.
Kirsty Amos is committed to Public Education with almost 30 years of experience with 16 of these in various principal positions. Through her experiences she has developed a deep appreciation of metro and country, affluence and poverty, diverse language groups, and cultural and religious diversity and how these different contexts impact on the service we provide for our learners and therefore the support required for leaders.
Kirsty is a long term member of the Association and has been the convenor of SASPA’s Inclusion and Wellbeing Strategic Network group since 2020.
