Staff News

This week we have welcomed Mr Mark Chisholm to the staff as a member of our Sports Leadership Team. As one of our Activities Coordinators, Mr Chisholm will focus on athlete development across all programs and also oversee our strength and conditioning schedules.

Ms Helen Power will finish at the College this year as she has gained a teaching position at Somerville House. We will have the opportunity to thank and farewell her formally at the end of the year. 

Mrs Natalie Berndt will also take a year of leave next year as her family is relocating to Japan for a period. We wish Mrs Berndt well in this adventure.

Mr Andrew Ball will take Semester 1 as leave from the College next year. We wish Mr Ball well for this time also.

The College will advertise for several full-time continuing teaching positions this Saturday and is presently recruiting for a number of contract positions as indicated above.  This weekend will see positions advertised for teachers of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and Design Technology and Economics and Business.

Finally, but most importantly, I was delighted to meet with Mr Mark Shori last week. Families of Years 11 and 12 students and Old Boys would particularly know Mr Shori as a member of our Waterford Place staff. Mr Shori has been acutely unwell for a year now. I can happily report that he has been out of hospital and at home for three weeks. He has a long way to go and some further procedures, but his positivity and resilience are shining through and we were meeting to begin to plan his transition back to some work in 2020. This discussion is a step by step and conservative one, but it is very pleasing to share this news about this good man and wonderful teacher.
