 A passion to break the long held paradigm that middle years education can’t be engaging, interesting and fun has led me to School for Student Leadership. I believe remote residential experiences are crucial for adolescent social and emotional development because adolescents need to have access to the lost “rite of passage”, and because they deserve long service leave after being at school for ten years; I believe we need to transform middle years education.I am the inaugural Principal of the Alpine School. I was recruited from Methodist Ladies College where I had been Director of Marshmead. I believe our Alpine School staff are some of the finest team members with whom I have worked. In my role as Principal, my main focuses include- expanding access, transformational leadership, role modelling, consistency of approach across campuses. I have been involved in residential and experiential education, in private, commercial and state systems, at leadership levels in Victoria, NSW and Western Australia, as well as overseas. I have been an examiner and assessor with the Victorian Curriculum & Assessment Authority, and have also lectured at Melbourne and Australian Catholic Universities. My qualifications include Degrees, Graduate and Post-Graduate Qualifications in Recreation, Outdoor Education and Organization Change. I also hold ski and sea-kayak instructor qualifications. I am married to Alice and have two children, Tom and Christiane, and live in Marlo and Dinner Plain. I am an active in the community of the High Country and Lower Snowy River Region. My main interests are fatherhood, principalship, travelling in the outdoors, leadership education and understanding organisational behaviour.
