“It’s a joy to lead such a wonderful and vibrant community. I’d been involved in Christian schools for more than 30 years but coming to Nepean some years ago, was like coming home. We do things a little differently from other schools and that starts from the principal. I lead a community rather than run a school and that means my passion is for people over paper. I love getting amongst students and families, teaching, visiting classes and spending time in the playground. I’m also passionate about Christian faith and ensuring that everything that we do aligns with what we believe. I’m an absolute believer in growing students to be lifelong learners, community leaders and servant-hearted carers. The result is authentic and adventurous learning, in an environment where kids are loved and encouraged to be all that God has made them to be.”

About our school board

As a parent-governed school, Christian parents who subscribe to the statement of faith can apply to become members of the parent Association. It is the responsibility of the Association to ensure that the school remains strongly connected to its Christian mission and vision. The Association annually elects directors to the School Board, who are legally responsible for the governance of the school, for making financial, planning decisions and to appoint staff. This rich involvement of parents in the education of their children sets parent-governed Christian schooling apart from other forms of faith-based schooling.

We acknowledge the traditional aboriginal carers of this land and pay our respects to the elders – past, present and future for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of aboriginal Australia. We seek to live in harmony with our aboriginal friends as we relax in God’s grace shown in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. We treasure the land, its sunburnt beauty and its rugged mountain ranges. We acknowledge God’s rule over his creation and stand in awe of His greatness.

There is a tangible sense of belonging at NCS, where every student is deeply cared for and looked after as members of a loving family. Nepean Christian School certainly is a special place. I love that Christ is front and centre in all that takes place and it is wonderful that we are a school that genuinely seeks to explore and learn about what God is saying to us through the Bible. My desire is that our students thrive and grow as learners, as people and as disciples of the Lord Jesus. Together, in partnership with parents, my hope is that each child would develop a heart eager to learn, serve and look after the needs of others. It is a joy to care for and nurture young people at Nepean, to be part of their learning journey as they grow to be wonderful, creative and kind young men and women.”

“Our association with Christian schooling started in 2005 when our eldest daughter started school. We soon realized what a blessing it was for our two daughters to attend a Christian school and when the opportunity arose to start working in that environment in 2017, I jumped at it. Being good stewards of what God has put in our hands is a wonderful blessing that comes with massive responsibility. I hope that I can bring glory to God through everything that I do at Nepean Christian School.”
