11)
o you think that your approach with students
have a more positive impact versus an autocratic leadership style?
I do not believe in an Autocratic Leadership Style to run
a school. It is important however to get everyone on
board in playing their part to make this institution the
best it can be. Staff and students alike do contribute to
decision making and provide ideas to ensure that the
school continues to excel.
Leon Hess Comprehensive Secondary is like a family
where we all look out for each other. I see myself as a
‘down to earth’ and approachable individual who is easy
to interact with. I also enjoy interacting with students on
a daily basis and frequently make it my duty to be a part
of the activities that are organized for both staff and
students. Nevertheless, instilling discipline throughout
is the pillar of success and this is what provides a more
conducive environment for learning. Also, we at Leon
Hess Comprehensive believe in utilizing more positive
than negative re-enforcement to improve performance
and behaviour.
12) What does the future hold for you?
I really can’t say as I leave it in God’s hands. I do love the
education field but my ultimate passion is to work directly in the field of Sports. As a result, I intend to pursue
a Masters Degree in Sports Administration to facilitate
my Level One Coaching Certificates in Football and Basketball. I would like to make a more meaningful contribution in the area of Sports Development in St. Lucia,
preferably working with the youth. I was raised in a community where sporting activities was what kept us out
of trouble and provided opportunities for us youth to
work together and build our self-esteem. And so, from
an early age, I have grown to have a passion for Sporting
Activities, Health and Fitness.
