College Leadership

The College Executive is the senior leadership team of the College. Members of the College Executive are appointed by the Executive Principal. The College Executive comprises both primary and secondary staff leadership representatives and meets regularly to discuss and plan for a variety of issues within the College. A highlight of the year is our annual College Executive retreat. This is a time when the Executive team get away together as a team to pray, plan and focus on the year ahead. It is always a special time. It is a privilege leading such an experienced, inspirational team of leaders.

  • Kerrie Neophytou (Head of Campus)
