Name: Susan Shaw
Company and Position: Elementary School Deputy Principal, Singapore American School
What brought you to Singapore? I left New Zealand’s shores 33 years ago for a 6 month stint overseas! I have worked in London, Istanbul, New York and Caracas before spending the past 24 years in Singapore.
Can you share a bit about your role? As a Deputy Principal, I am part of a highly collaborative team of educators committed to ensuring a safe and positive learning environment where all students are known and cared for and have opportunities to learn and grow. I work with an amazing administrative team that is focused not only on recruiting and retaining the best faculty and staff members from around the world but also provides continual professional learning to provide exemplary learning experiences for kids. It is a real privilege to work with such a talented faculty and this is one of the reasons I have stayed at SAS for a long time.
Where in New Zealand do you call home? And what do you miss about it? My parents were dairy farmers in Temuka, South Canterbury who then retired to Christchurch. Over the years, we’ve had many family holidays in Picton and so I consider both Picton and Christchurch to be my home. I do miss cooler weather from time to time as well as wide open spaces.
What inspired you to pursue a career in education, particularly in the context of international schools? I am a people person and seriously there is nothing more rewarding than helping kids learn and grow. Add to that the opportunity to live and teach in different countries around the world, learn about different cultures and appreciate different perspectives and it amounts to an amazing experience that I feel very fortunate to have had. |
