Assistant Principal Announcement

We are very happy to announce that Mr Paul Webster has been appointed Assistant Principal of our school.


Mr Webster joins our school after recently working in Warrnambool and Horsham schools. He is a secondary Humanities teacher and has lots of experience working with the VCE Vocational Major and instructional and curriculum leadership.

A big thank you to Mrs Butters who has been the Acting Assistant Principal and Mrs Dart who has been the Acting Learning Specalist over the last two years. With Mr Webster's appointment, they will be able to focus on their usual roles as Disability and Inclusion Leader and Mental Health Leader.

Get to know Mr Webster

"Hello! My name is Paul, and I’m really excited to be joining the team at Hawkesdale P12 College this year. I grew up locally in Mortlake and spent 15 years owning and operating hotels in inner-city Melbourne before transitioning into education in 2016.

I began my teaching career in Horsham, where I led vocational education programs for several years. Most recently, I was at Warrnambool College, managing careers and vocational programs. My family and I (my wife and two daughters) relocated back to the district a couple of years ago to be closer to extended family, and we’re loving the change of pace living at Tower Hill.

I’m especially enjoying working in a P-12 setting and being part of a close-knit and super supportive school community. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors—camping, surfing, playing tennis, and spending time with my family."
