PhD, MSL, Grad Dip Ed, B App Sci.

Adrian is a progressive leader who understands the importance of cultivating the right conditions for students to develop the attitudes, morals, ethics, dispositions and skills needed for a life of learning.

As a lifelong learner and PhD graduate, Adrian’s expertise in innovation and technology has led to an informed understanding that digital transformation in education is inevitable. ‘Focusing on what makes us human, however, is always more important than focusing on the technology’, he believes.

From his early teaching years in country Victoria, the achievement of several excellence and scholarship awards, Adrian progressed to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and the establishment of a Centre for Excellence and Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics. His roles as Director of Teaching and Learning at Geelong College, Deputy Principal at Mentone Grammar and more recently as Associate Principal at Westbourne have provided the depth and breadth of experience to lead Westbourne Grammar School into its next phase.
