Carol Daniels
Branch Executive Member
Carol Daniels is currently the Foundation Principal of the recently opened Piara Waters Senior High School. Carol has over 30 years of leadership and teaching experience which are grounded in public education in South Africa and in a range of educational contexts within Western Australia.
As a leader and lifelong learner, Carol inspires, motivates, and creates an environment where people learn and grow. She has a passion for teacher and leader development, underpinned and fostered by professional knowledge and lived experience.
Carol has successfully led school improvement initiatives in complex and challenging contexts, enacting cultural and transformational change, and resulting in positive outcomes for stakeholders. During the recent COVID crisis Carol was asked to be part of a selected group of Principals to offer advice and consultative leadership during this challenging period.
Carol is looking forward to serving on the ACEL WA Executive and confronting the challenges of a changing education milieu.
The world is changing rapidly. If we want to foster peoples’ ability to learn, live, lead and work in that changing world, the way we approach education and leadership must support the future. Developing 21st century learning skills is a strong focus in Carol’s new school context, and she believes that working collaboratively in a cross sectoral environment will not only strengthen and support education but will result in innovation and new opportunities.
