Our teaching staff
Get to know our school staff. We're all here to help.
Our team of highly qualified teachers, motivates students to develop a strong passion for learning and a desire to excel. They are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and are deeply invested in your child’s overall wellbeing.
The Principal Mr Brendan Yu is responsible for leading the school’s educational direction and managing its operations. If you would like to meet with the principal, please contact the office to arrange an appointment.
Our administrative staff is here to assist with any inquiries and can connect you with the appropriate staff member to provide the support you need.
Members of staff have been appointed as Year Advisers to each Year group from Years 7 to 12. The Year Advisers are involved in a variety of roles from counselling students to co-ordinating reports and references.
On a day-to-day basis the most significant role is to look out for the welfare of your child. The Year Advisers are available to discuss any problems that pupils may have and to assist where possible. An important feature of this scheme is that each Year Adviser stays with their particular Year group so that a stable, continuous relationship develops with the group as it progresses through the school.Your child’s school experience is shaped by the people around them. Our teachers bring experience, care and a passion for learning to every lesson. With a focus on success, they help every child reach their full potential.
