On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Timothy Hewitt as Principal of Shire Christian School, commencing January 2027.
The recruitment process highlighted the quality of Christian education leaders serving throughout the sector and was an endorsement of what we are doing at Shire Christian School from the engaging interviews conducted. The Board was unanimous in its decision and are looking forward to our school community getting to know Tim as he shares his passion and love for Christian education through his leadership of the school.
Tim is currently the Principal of Broughton Anglican College, a Christ-centred Prep to Year 12 school of approximately 1,500 students. He was previously the Deputy of Secondary at Covenant Christian School with over 800 students. His career has been dedicated to Christian education, serving across Christian Education National (CEN), Independent and Anglican Schools for over 20 years, from teaching to Executive positions. Tim is excited by the opportunity to build on the great legacy of 50 years of faithful Christian education at Shire Christian School. He brings with him an energy and vision to build on the firm foundation of biblical clarity, conviction, academic excellence, and furthering the school’s mission, in educating students for a life of learning, service and purpose, to the glory of God.
We are thankful to God that Tim can start the 2027 school year with us. So, with many new faces, names and places for him to get to know, I know you will warmly welcome Tim to our school community…and point that person looking a little lost to the right area in those first few weeks…it could be the Principal.
Please remain prayerful for both Shire Christian School and Broughton Anglican College during this time of transition. We look forward as a community to this new start under a new Principal but with the same purpose and “everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, (who) does not faint or grow weary, His understanding is unsearchable.” (Isaiah 40:28)
Our hope as always is in the Living Lord to direct our paths and prosper our endeavors, as is His will, for His Glory and our good. I pray that 2027 will be the start of another exciting season in the life of Shire Christian School.
Soli Deo Gloria, To God be the Glory.
Yours faithfully
Mr John Ishak
Chair
