Ms Amy Woodgate is the Deputy Principal and Head of Middle School at SCOTS PGC College.

With extensive experience across Prep to Year 12 education, Amy brings a strong understanding of how students learn, develop and transition through each stage of their schooling. Her leadership is grounded in the belief that academic growth and wellbeing are closely connected, and that young people thrive when they are challenged, encouraged and provided with a strong sense of belonging.

As Deputy Principal, Amy contributes to the strategic direction of the College, working across all areas of school life to strengthen continuity, collaboration and the student experience. Her portfolio includes supporting whole-school priorities, strengthening transitions between sub-schools and ensuring the College’s values of Spirit, Tenacity, Authenticity, Excellence and Respect are reflected in everyday practice.

As Head of Middle School, Amy leads a formative stage in students’ development as they navigate increasing independence, new expectations and a growing sense of identity. She is passionate about creating an environment that balances academic challenge with strong pastoral care, giving students the confidence to explore their interests, embrace opportunities and take greater ownership of their learning.

Since joining SCOTS PGC in 2019, Amy has held several significant leadership positions, including Director of Girls’ Boarding and, most recently, Acting Principal. These roles have strengthened her whole-school perspective and deepened her understanding of the needs of regional, rural and boarding families. Her tenure as Acting Principal also demonstrated her ability to lead with stability, clarity and purpose.

Before joining SCOTS PGC, Amy served for five years as Assistant Head of Junior School (Teaching and Learning) at Somerville House. She also spent eight years at Brisbane Boys’ College as a classroom teacher, year-level coordinator and acting leader, following earlier experience at Moreton Bay Boys’ College during its foundational years.

Amy leads with empathy, energy and a genuine commitment to helping students develop the character, confidence and capabilities they need for the years ahead
