ELIZABETH BATCHELOR, NOMBRADA PRINCIPAL, DIRECTORA GENERAL DE ALOHA COLLEGE

Aloha College announced last Xmas the appointment of Mrs Elizabeth Batchelor to the new post of Principal at the college. Headmistress of the Primary School from 1999, Mrs Batchelor took charge of the Secondary School in 2009. Her extensive experience and knowledge of all the Key Stages from Foundation to Sixth Form mean she can continue to work alongside the school’s Managers, Mrs Kathryn Salmon and Mr Victor Ranea, so the school can move forward to its next phase. Mr Tim Webb, formerly Head of KS4, has joined the Management team as Acting Head of Secondary.

The School was founded in 1982 by six teachers, at the behest of local and expatriate families, who invested their own money in what was then and is to this day a not-for-profit-making project. The school has grown from the 210 pupils of then to approximately 750 currently and from one small building which housed everyone to the present 23,000 m2 of buildings and sport/recreational areas.
