Andrew is passionate about the Norwest community because of the "strength of relationships in the school community and genuine Christian care and compassion where everyone is valued." Andrew comes with a wealth of experience and knowledge, having completed a Bachelor of Business Administration with Arts (Psychology) and his Masters of Education. Along with his role on the Executive team, Andrew also teaches Economics, Business Studies and Commerce, as well as mentors educators to be continually growing their practice to make sure every student has the best possible start in life.
One of the reasons Andrew knew he wanted to become a teacher was being involved in a church youth group as a leader. One of Andrew's most memorable classroom experiences was when "students were able to develop their own island 'economy' and make decisions about how to share resources and allocate jobs. I could not believe the depth of insight and quality of discussions that came from this."
Andrew serves in his local church through leading services, organisationally, occasional preaching and playing the bass guitar. Andrew loves the opportunity to "reflect on what God's Word has to say to us and sharing with others the way following Jesus brings hope and offers the best way to live life to the full". Andrew is also "passionate about raising awareness and taking action to address poverty and support the important work of Compassion Australia because I know many people around the world do not get to enjoy many of the blessings that are in Australia."

Colin has extensive experience in Christian Education and is excited to be a part of the community here at Norwest Christian College. "I share my colleagues' enthusiasm for honouring Christ in all that we do to assist young people in understanding who they are in Christ and what His purpose is for each of them." He believes that as Christian educators "we are like-minded in working toward each student discovering their God-given purpose and responding to that understanding with action".
Colin believes that it is crucial to clearly share the peace that comes from knowing what we have in Christ and how we don't need to be defined by our culture, or our mistakes. The opportunity to disciple young people and develop their faith is considered by Colin to be a privilege and a significant responsibility.
Colin completed a Bachelor of Science (Chemistry), has a Graduate Diploma in Education and a Masters in Education, focusing on Leadership.

Linda is very passionate for students to grow into great men and women of purpose. Linda's desire to become a teacher developed when she was in Primary school. "My Year 4 teacher was urgently called away from the classroom. The teacher in the adjoining room rushed in, thrust a piece of chalk in my hand and nominated me to take over. It was such a delight at nine to be chosen for this important job and I remember vividly thinking, "I'd love to be a REAL teacher someday!"
Linda and her family support the organisation WaterAid, an international charity which transforms lives in developing countries by giving thousands access to clean water. They also support the Boys' Town charity and the work of Father Chris Riley with his "Youth off the Streets" program.
