Her leadership is grounded in collaboration, innovation and a deep commitment to ensuring every person who walks through the College’s doors feels valued, supported and inspired to reach their potential.
As CEO, Bernadette is focused on building a sustainable organisation that responds to the changing needs of the community while remaining true to SGSCC’s purpose.
