Michael McLean, Principal of Kerrimuir Primary School in Box Hill North, was named Outstanding Primary Principal of the Year 2025 in recognition of his exceptional leadership and deep commitment to student success.

His focus on inclusive pathways and lifting outcomes for every child—especially those at risk of being left behind—has helped shape a school culture that is both ambitious and deeply caring.
