Other valuable qualities include enthusiasm, understanding, organisational ability, a capacity to work hard and the ability to stay calm and good humoured under pressure. The appointee will need to demonstrate a commitment to technology and its use across the curriculum. The successful candidates will also have the ability to command respect amongst all segments of the wider community and bring with them real energy, excitement and passion to the classroom.
