Chair: Alex Pettitt – Local Authority
"I became a Governor in 2017 for the Federation of St Mary's & St Thomas of Canterbury and have been co-chair since Summer 2020 and then more recently Chair.  My two children, attended St Thomas of Canterbury. I work part-time as a secondary school teacher at The Bay teaching mostly Geography. Despite being a teacher for over fifteen years I have found being a Governor a learning curve - one which I have thoroughly enjoyed and I look forward to being part of the St Boniface Federation.

Vice-Chair Maureen Etheridge - Foundation

I am a retired headteacher, living in Freshwater.  I have spent most of my career working in schools in Kent and Suffolk and took up my final post here on the Isle of Wight. Since I retired, I continue to fulfil my interest in education by volunteering at St Saviour's Catholic Primary School. I very much enjoy being a member of the Governing Body and relish the opportunity of being involved in education and working as part of the team to serve the St Boniface Federation

Katie Giannotta - Foundation

Katie has been appointed as a Foundation Governor. She moved to the Island from Surrey with her husband and two young boys.  “When I’m not mothering, I am a keen gardener and enjoy many crafts. I look forward to becoming more involved in the community at St Thomas of Canterbury as my boys progress through school and getting to know St Saviour's and St Mary's through Governance.
