Vale Maria Karvouni
We are deeply saddened to advise that our wonderful Principal, Maria Karvouni, passed away in December after being unwell for some time. Maria was a much loved and valued Principal, educator and a committed advocate of government school education. Her tireless work and dedicated leadership over the past 8 years resulted in Auburn High School growing into the outstanding school it is today. During her 35 year career, Maria made significant contributions to State Education at a system level as well as making a positive difference to the lives of countless students and the broader community. On behalf of the school community, we would like to express our deepest sympathies and condolences to Maria’s family and friends.
Ross Pritchard will be Acting Principal during this time of transition for our school, supported by Junior School Assistant Principal, Kristie Satilmis and Acting Senior School Assistant Principal, Ella Price.
Current and former students, staff and parents are welcome to contribute to the memorial book available at Reception. More formal opportunities to pay respects to Maria’s memory will take place early in 2023.
