Principal Amanda Bell calls for more female headmasters at Queensland all-girls schools | Courier Mail
"Following the announcement in Brisbane this week of the appointment of yet another male principal to a major independent girls' school . . . there is cause to reflect on how this could happen and continues to happen – not because there is anything wrong with men being principals or a particular man being considered worthy – but because of the larger question of why the governing authorities of some independent girls' schools would want their principals to be anything but strong female role-models for the young women in their care," she warns in a paper.

"The reverse certainly does not happen – independent boys' schools are exclusively led by headmasters, presumably because they are seen as strong role models for their students."

STOP DISCRIMINATION
