What I love about education is the opportunity to empower others to lead.. This lies at the heart of what we strive to inspire in both every child and staff member—the courage and ability to lead with purpose, shaping their world for good and for God.
At Calvary, our stage-based learning model puts students at the centre of their educational journey, fostering the development of skills, character, and faith. This foundation helps each child discover what it means to belong, to learn for life, and to embrace who they are—because they know Whose they are.
Stage-based learning nurtures a dynamic community of learners, where collaboration, critical thinking, and curiosity thrive. By placing every child at the heart of their learning, we prepare them to become thoughtful leaders and lifelong learners.
Our mission is to cultivate Fearlessly Authentic Learners—individuals of strong character who confront challenges with courage and engage with the world around them with integrity, grace, and purpose.
Passion is a force that drives me, as I believe in seeking out every opportunity to make learning come alive for students. I firmly believe that every student has God-given potential and purpose and Calvary provides the space where this is nurtured and grown.
We recognise the importance of inquiry-based learning where students are invited into learning experiences that excite them and have real-world relevance and applications.
We place a strong emphasis on character development and values education. Our students not only acquire academic knowledge but also learn the importance of kindness, forgiveness, respect and responsibility. We are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also contribute positively to their communities. Welcome to a place where education is not just about what you know but also about who you become.
Our Springwood campus is a nurturing community that provides a strong foundation from early learning (Kingdom Kids) through to formal schooling, Prep to Year 6 which is an integral part of the P-12 Calvary Christian College journey.
We are committed to a holistic education that fosters academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Grounded in evidence-based research, our inquiry model encourages curiosity and critical thinking, while our stage-based approach ensures developmentally appropriate learning. This empowers our students to grow in skill, learning habits, and character, confidently embracing their God-given identity and purpose.
With 30 years of diverse experiences in education, I am blessed to return to the campus where my teaching journey began. I am passionate about working in partnership within a well-connected community to effectively equip our children with the lifelong skills and confidence they need to lead with faith, integrity, and a heart for service.
