We are very excited to be hosting Andrew for some staff and parent seminars in the beginning of June 2023.

For 18 years Andrew was headmaster of Redfield and Wollemi Colleges, Sydney schools that work closely in support of parents. He is the author of Parenting for Character (Parousia, 2nd edition 2020), and Parenting for Faith (Scepter 2022), as well as the content of Building character and resilience school diaries and secondary worksheets (Veritatis, 2021), and a soon to be released workbook for parents. 

Andrew teaches the Formation of Character course to teachers at the University of Notre Dame. His doctorate looked at the neurobiology of character. He has been invited in recent years to speak in parenting conferences in UK, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines. This will be his fourth visit to New Zealand for parenting and character presentations. 

Andrew now works with university students in Melbourne and plays tennis when the sun is out.
