It is a great privilege to be the foundation Principal of this fantastic school, which for many years has been the fastest growing school in Queensland. Built over four stages, the final stage of this $100 million investment into state education for the children of our community was completed in 2019. Apart from the buildings themselves, the resources and technology we have in our school is state of the art, providing real world learning opportunities.
The modern workforce places increasing demands on potential employees for skills such as analytical thinking, innovation, digital literacy, creativity and complex problem solving. These are the skills that will provide the competitive advantage for young people entering the 21st century global economy. At Pimpama State Secondary College, we fervently believe in our mission of 21st century learning and believe that these skills will ensure our students have successful lives in an increasingly uncertain and challenging world. Our commitment to the development of young people with the skills to inspire, innovate, shape and define their future has seen the college gain national recognition for innovation.
Pimpama State Secondary College is an exciting place to work and learn with highly dedicated and professional staff, incredibly talented and enthusiastic students and a passionate and supportive community. As College Principal I continue to be inspired by the commitment and support of our community and the dedication of our staff as we continue to work together to provide a world class 21st century education for the young people in our community.
Above all else, I am committed to providing a school environment where our students can engage in learning in a culture that is inclusive, caring and safe. Our investment in the wellbeing of our students and our commitment to ensuring an inclusive culture is embedded in all aspects of school life will ensure your child, regardless of their abilities, will learn in a world-class education environment.
