New Head Teacher C.A.P.A.

As this is my first Faculty Focus inclusion, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Neil Mahaffey and I am the new Head Teacher CAPA at NHS. I was born and bred in Newcastle and for the past twenty years worked at Griffith High School (now Murrumbidgee Regional High School) firstly as a Music Teacher, and for the last ten years as Head Teacher CAPA. I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone at NHS, especially the CAPA staff, for their support and making me feel so welcomed. 

I have recently had the pleasure of meeting some of the parents at the Year Seven Meet the Teacher session and I look forward to building further positive relationships with the school community in the near future.  

2021 is shaping up to be a busy and exciting year and the CAPA staff are enthusiastic to help all students realise their creativity and explore the wonderful world of the Arts. 

Mr Mahaffey. 

Head Teacher Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA).
