Educator Julia Woo is happy to have gone back to school – after years as a senior official at Singapore’s Ministry of Education, which included her overseeing the running of more than 10 schools – to become the new principal and head of school at Invictus School Hong Kong.
Woo, a Singaporean, previously did two stints as a school principal in the city state, and recalls those periods as the best of her career. “The work has a lot of purpose, a lot of meaning, for me because I can see lives being transformed, and that gives me a lot of satisfaction,” she says.
Her decades of experience working in education – initially as a teacher, then principal and most recently government official – mean she has clear ideas about how to enhance the educational journey of students.
Woo believes in a holistic approach – to help students grow cognitively, emotionally, physically and morally by fostering a strong learning community and imparting good values.
