Kia ora and welcome to a new school year at Columba.

I come to the College after 13 years of teaching at our ‘brother school’, John McGlashan College. I am really excited about the chaplaincy of Columba and the opportunity to be part of this school community.

My role here includes leading chapel services, teaching religious education (RE) to students in Years 7-10 and Year 13, oversight of the RE programme as HOD, and being a member of the school’s pastoral-care network.

My office is in the ground floor of the boarding house (Bischopscourt building) and I am already enjoying the opportunity this provides to be part of daily life with the girls there. 

I am looking forward to getting to know students of all ages at the College and to the privilege of being alongside members of the Columba community.
