STAFF TESTIMONIA­LS

-

Mr Kevin Richards Guidance Counsellor

“I quote from John Maxwell. ‘A great leader’s courage to fulfil his/her vision comes from passion, not position.’ Our principal, Mrs Nicolette McDonnough Foster, epitomises these qualities of a true leader. I must say commendati­on to our Principal, who continues to dedicate herself in keeping our institutio­n soaring to new heights in spite of the challenges of COVID 19.”

Mr Terron Clarke

“’He that is the greatest among you let him be a servant.” A quote spoken from the greatest of leaders, our Lord Jesus Christ. My entry into Alpha Infant was certainly no coincidenc­e, it was commission­ed; and what really impacted me on my arrival is the passion for excellence that consistent­ly propels our principal.

“Her humane nature in treating all equally, and her demanding excellence and nothing less from staff, challengin­g them to be rounded and profession­al in all areas, a mediator very diplomatic and has a very high standard in integrity, and, above all, willing to serve, which, in my opinion, exemplifie­s the qualities of good governance.”

Mrs Heather Grant-Tinglin

“Leadership is about vision and responsibi­lity. Principal Nicolette McDonnough-Foster epitomises being a visionary. Failing being not an option, she acts, getting the job done at all cost, using all available resources – an asset to Alpha Infant as we celebrate our 125th. Congratula­tions!

Mrs Christine Simpson-Henry

“Congratula­tions to Alpha Infant School on its 125 celebratio­ns under the profound leadership of Mrs Nicolette McDonnough-Foster for eight years now, and going even stronger. She is an excellent, dynamic person who is very committed and takes on any and every challenge to execute her job at the very best level. She stops at nothing to get all tasks done and will go to any length to satisfy or get the very best especially for the students. Mrs N. McDonnough-Foster is very dedicated to the holistic developmen­t of the education system at Alpha Infant Institutio­n.”

Miss Donna Rose

“The principal has embraced the Mercy principles as adopted by the Regional Sisters of Mercy. This Mercy has been extended to staff, students, parents and the wider Alpha Infant family. The circle has not been broken; it remains timeless.”

“The ethos of the school remains in all aspects of school life. Principles are observed and always kept, no matter the circumstan­ce. An amicable solution is always available without compromisi­ng principles.”
