2025/2026
Management Committee
Nicole Rouen
I would like to nominate for the positions of Management Committee and State Councillor (South East Region). I am currently the Principal of Beenleigh Special School, a position I have held for the past 10 years. My professional interests include trauma-informed practice, senior schooling, post-school pathways and building the capability of aspiring special education leaders, as well as teachers new to special education.
I have been an active member of QASEL for 20 years and have held a very wide range of positions including Secretary, Treasurer, Management Committee, State Councillor and Conference Committee member. In 2024, in my role as a Management Committee member I have contributed to the Resourcing Review, Infrastructure Reference Group, Resi-Care Reference Group and QASEL Awards Committee. I have represented QASEL on Principal selection panels and was a panel member and workshop presenter at the 2024 QASEL Conference.
