The Leadership Team

Brendan Dawson is honoured to lead the school community of South Street Primary School, Moe. Having had extensive experience leading several schools across Gippsland, Brendan brings a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm, dedication, and personality to work collaboratively with the community of Moe to improve the educational and wellbeing outcomes for all students.

As the previous Principal at Glengarry, Willow Grove, and Labertouche Primary Schools, Brendan’s leadership and management skills led to him being recently nominated as a finalist in the 2022 Victorian Education Excellence Awards in the Outstanding Primary Principal category.

“The experiences and successes I have had leading and working with various rural communities have reinforced my belief of what matters most when connecting and leading school communities. That is a strong focus on building and maintaining relationships, setting high expectations and a genuine desire to work together with students, parents/carers, and staff to achieve academic excellence.”

“I’m incredibly excited to be at South Street and look forward to continuing to achieve academic success for all students.”
