Northern Christian School is part of Christian Schools Tasmania, an Association which owns and operates schools across Hobart that honour God through the provision of transformational Christ-centred education by working in close partnership with families.  

We believe parents have the primary God-given responsibility of nurturing their children to maturity. Our school started in 1993 and grew out of parents’ vision and commitment to Christian education for their children. Serving as the Principal at Northern Christian School is an honour, and I am grateful to God for this calling. It is a privilege to work with beautiful children, partner with supportive parents and to lead an exceptional team of staff.  

I am deeply passionate and committed to ensuring Northern Christian School thrives. This is achieved by delivering the highest-quality education where a Christian worldview intentionally permeates all that we do. As an authentic Christian school, we believe that education is not just about imparting a Christian methodology for understanding the world around us. It is also about demonstrating a Christian way of living within that world. Our school values of Respect, Kindness, and Resilience stem from our Christian worldview shaped by the Bible, reflecting the teachings of Jesus. As a school community, we promote, celebrate and encourage our values of Respect, Kindness and Resilience with the hope that our students, families and staff will be able to articulate, understand, promote and celebrate values that will guide how they act, what they say and the choices they make.

Our teaching and learning practice is informed by data and the latest education research. We aim for strong academic outcomes for all students by employing high-impact teaching and learning strategies that foster student enjoyment, engagement, and progression. Our deep hope is to equip students for purpose and service now and in the future.

Our professional, dedicated and passionate staff work hard to nurture each student to reach their God-given potential and to achieve well in all areas of aptitude. We value and respond to the unique personality and giftedness of each child. We provide students with a range of engaging experiences and opportunities that support their learning; catering to each student’s needs to ensure that students are developing, flourishing and reaching their God given potential.

As you and your family discover more about the story and life of the school community at Northern, you will discover for yourself how we prepare and equip students for life by providing the highest quality Christ-centred education.

I warmly invite you to come and experience the difference at Northern Christian School. I would love the opportunity to speak with you and personally show you our campus, sharing our exceptional ‘hidden gem’ of a school, where you will meet our dedicated teachers and staff, and immerse yourself in the welcoming transformational Christian learning community, nestled in a beautiful bush setting of 20 acres with magnificent views of the Derwent Valley and Mount Wellington. I look forward to showing you firsthand what sets Northern Christian School apart and welcoming you to our school community.
