Meet the Principal
It is with pleasure that I welcome you to Saint Stephen’s College. I see it as a great honour and responsibility to be the Principal of this multi award-winning School. Grounded in Christian values and inclusive to all, Saint Stephen’s College is a place where every student is respected and heard and develops the integrity and responsibility to serve others. We call it a sense of pride.
Our future-focused education philosophy underpins everything we do, ensuring that our students become inquisitive, innovative and fully prepared for life beyond the College. Our exceptional staff members are powered by the vision to drive education forward, so that every student is challenged and inspired to persevere and create their own unique future.
I am constantly in awe of the down-to-earth, can-do attitude of both the staff and students. Not only are they passionate about their school, but they are also friendly, warm-hearted and caring. I feel a great sense of pride in the professional, nurturing nature of our staff and our hard-working, engaged and happy students who take advantage of the myriad opportunities available to them with enthusiasm. As you walk around the College you will tune in to the hum of active learning, coupled with the joy of heartfelt laughter.
This is not surprising given the world-class facilities and high standard of teaching supporting every student to be the best they can be as they strive to live out our values of maturity and integrity whilst having fun on the learning journey.
I look forward to welcoming you to come and feel the heartbeat of Saint Stephen’s College, and invite you to visit the College in person or by taking a virtual tour where you can meet our community and see our outstanding facilities for yourself.
I share with you a few lines from our College prayer.
May there always be at Saint Stephen’s College a desire
to love that which is worth loving,
to know that which is worth knowing,
to hold high that which is most precious to thee.
