After more than 25 years of establishing, leading and developing one the region’s most respected and high-performing private schools, Dr Lyn Bishop OAM will step down from her role of Principal in 2021.

Having successfully led the College through the challenges of COVID-19 in 2020, Dr Bishop believes the time is right to hand over the leadership to a new Principal who can take the College to its next stage of development.

We have seen incredible change under Dr Bishop’s leadership over the years. The College has:

continued to promote its Vision Statement of “Traditional Values and Progressive Thinking for Quality Learning and Living” throughout its 25 years of operation
delivered on its Mission Statement of “providing a quality educational experience in an environment that encourages and enables our students to succeed in a constantly changing world”
imbued all stakeholders with the College Values
consistently promoted the College’s philosophy of “Love, Laughter and Learning”
ensured the College’s Student Exit Outcomes became the focal point of every teacher’s praxis from Kindergarten through to Year 12
clearly promoted education as a partnership between the home and the school
become a leading independent, co-educational, non-denominational College for children from 15 months of age through to Year 12
grown from 110 students and six staff members in 1997, to more than 1,400 students and 300 staff members today, a number of whom are foundation staff and College alumni appointments
ensured innovative national and global connections, and the integration of cutting-edge technology and infrastructure to create a world-class learning environment for students.

Through a true team effort, the College has also established world-class facilities and research-driven initiatives, such as the LINQ Precinct and ArtScapes, to help students become the entrepreneurs, business owners, engineers and designers of tomorrow.

With these strong foundations, a deeply connected community and a thriving culture, the College will continue to provide students with opportunities to achieve the extraordinary, now and into the future.

The College’s Board has commenced a comprehensive recruitment process to find an outstanding candidate for the new Principal role.

We wish Dr Bishop all the very best in her future endeavours and look forward to welcoming a new Principal who will embody and uphold the College’s Vision, Mission and Values, and expand on the initiatives Dr Bishop and her team have already established.
