Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to Claremont College. I have been the Principal at Claremont College for 17 years, and I love this place and our wonderful school community. We are a unique school where students and staff are deeply connected and inspired for life. Since 1882, we have been equipping children with the skills and attitudes they need to flourish and thrive.

For me, when I think about everything I love about Claremont, I am passionate that it’s a place where every child feels valued, nurtured, and inspired. Claremont College is a Christ-centred, child-focused school that is safe, inclusive, nurturing, and joyful — a place filled with learning, discovery, creativity, music, sport, and friendship.

We are a school that is committed to helping each child grow in their faith, talents, and passions, equipping them to make a positive impact in the world. Through opportunities to explore, celebrate, and challenge themselves, students at Claremont are encouraged to flourish in an environment of care, encouragement, and community.

At Claremont, we strive to share and live out a love for God through Jesus, embracing the fullness and joy of life in all its richness. It would be my honour and privilege to share your child’s educational journey with you and your family. Thank you for considering Claremont College. I invite you to experience the unique spirit that makes Claremont College a truly special place.
