Graeme Johnston - Principal
Hi, my name is Graeme Johnston and I have been teaching since 1987. I trained as a Manual Arts teacher and I have taught full time at Slade School, Warwick, Southside Christian College Brisbane and Hillcrest Christian College, Gold Coast.
I believe schools should be good places for children to be - sounds simple, but this requires a well balanced school to be a reality. Good schools are places where families, the Church and school staff work together to build a place that exists for the benefit of each student on campus. I like Christian schooling as it allows the whole person to be developed: mind, body and soul.
I have been a Deputy or Principal for 12 years and it is in this role that I have been able to develop school programs that provide young people with a full range of experiences, from the classroom to the outdoors. I expect every student to do well, with their academic efforts, their personal growth and their spiritual maturity. I don't believe in 'also rans' - those students who did not make it. Paul told Timothy that he expected his youth to not be a disadvantage, but instead to be an example to others with his life (2 Tim 4:12). It is my intention that every student in this college can develop each part of their lives well, so that a great life beyond graduation is all the more certain, and perhaps the journey along the way can be one of note. We have been given a good life, let's make the most of every day.
