Gerard was Acting Principal of the School throughout 2014, after being appointed Deputy Principal in 2011 and the Head of Ridgeway Campus in 2008. His career has spanned roles in the independent and government sector, including the Head of Senior School at Overnewton Anglican College and Year 12 Level Manager/VCE Coordinator at Eltham College.
