Dear ISHCMC Community,


I am pleased to share an important leadership update as we look ahead to the Academic Year 2026–2027 and the continued growth of our school.



From August 2026, Mr. Kohulan Jeganathan will join ISHCMC as our new High School Principal for Grades 9 - 12. A University of Toronto graduate, Kohulan brings extensive international experience and a strong commitment to the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy.


He has served as International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) Coordinator, Deputy Head of Secondary, and Deputy Head Academic, with leadership experience in Bogotá, Colombia and most recently ten years in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.




He is passionate about inclusive, student-centered learning and supporting students to grow as compassionate, global-minded young people. Kohulan will be joining ISHCMC with his wife, an educator specializing in Korean and English as an Additional Language (EAL)  and their two young children.


Also joining us from the 2026–2027 academic year is Mr. Anthony Mulson as our new Middle School Principal for Grades 6 - 8. Originally from Michigan in the United States, Anthony brings more than a decade of leadership experience across IB, International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE),  Advanced Level (A-Levels), and U.S. curricula.


He has spent the past twelve years in Shanghai, China, serving as Director of Teaching and Learning at YK Pao Middle School and most recently as Assistant Head at Dulwich International High School Suzhou, where he also earned his National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) qualification.


He is particularly passionate about the middle years and about building cultures of achievement grounded in character, community, and confidence.


Please join me in warmly welcoming Kohulan and Anthony to ISHCMC.


I am pleased to share that, alongside the arrival of our new Principals, each school division will continue to benefit from the leadership of our dedicated Vice Principals.


Ms. Catriona Treanor, currently Vice Principal of Secondary, will move into the role of Vice Principal of High School, while Mr. Joseph Albus, currently Vice Principal of Primary, will take on the role of Vice Principal of Middle School. Their experience, professionalism, and deep understanding of our school community ensure continuity, stability, and strong support for students and families across each division as we look ahead to the 2026–2027 academic year.



All leaders align strongly with ISHCMC’s values and our commitment to academic excellence, wellbeing, and joyful learning. I am confident they will work closely with our students, staff, and families as we continue to strengthen our school community into the 2026–2027 Academic Year and beyond.


Warm regards,





Marco Longmore
