Meet your Kindergarten Team
We’re here to partner with you and your child
From our College Principal, Ms. Sharon Sopher
It is my privilege to welcome you and your family to Belmont Christian College. Under God, our College exists to support you, as parents, in the education of your children.
There is a famous scripture from the book of Proverbs that reads:
Train up a child in the way they should go; and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
As you journey with us at BCC, know that our teachers are primarily here, by your side, to support and train your children into becoming active servants of the Lord, not better citizens. What a privilege it is to prepare our youth for God’s work.
As College Principal, I recognise that starting Kindergarten is a new adventure, not only for your child, but for Mum and Dad too. We are so thankful that you are here. Please know that our prayerful commitment is that your child will be loved and known by name. As a College, we are here for every single learner, and that includes your precious little one.
This first year will be filled with many wonderful memories and learning experiences that will form a strong foundation for the years ahead. We look forward to welcoming you into our College community and partnering alongside you for many years to come.
Meet our Kindergarten teachers
Our amazing Kindy team love teaching at BCC!
Miss Amy Crawford
Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) (Honours)
What is Miss Crawford’s favourite part about teaching Kindergarten?
“It is such a privilege to foster the young hearts and minds of school’s littlest beings. The ability to work alongside family members to best support the transition into schooling life is what I love most about Kindergarten. It is a heart-warming experience for the teacher to be a part of a Kindergartener’s journey and incredibly rewarding to see student growth. I enjoy helping Kindergarten navigate through their deep emotions, and experiencing the joy that comes with their infectious laughs and smiles. The opportunity to help Kindergarten students make sense of the world around them is certainly a highlight of my teaching career so far.”
What does Miss Crawford like to do in her spare time?
“I enjoy being involved in church events and knowing God deeper through devotional studies. I often spend time on the Central Coast visiting much loved friends and family. I enjoy singing, the sunshine and being active outdoors.”
Mrs Maisey Burgess
Bachelor of Education (Primary)
What is Mrs Burgess’ favourite part about teaching Kindergarten?
“There is so much to love about teaching Kindergarten. The first year of school is such a special time in a child’s life and to me there is nothing quite like the joy and growth that our little people experience in their first year of schooling. What a privilege it is to be able to pour into the next generation as they learn to walk as children of light!“
What does Mrs Burgess like to do in her spare time?
“In my spare time I enjoy relaxing with a cup of tea, socialising with family and friends and creative pastimes like trying out new recipes or hunting for new pieces to add to my wardrobe.“
Mrs Philippa Richards
Bachelor of Education (Primary)
What is Mrs Richards’ favourite part about teaching Kindergarten?
“I love that school is new and exciting for Kindy students, and it is such a privilege to have an impact on their attitude towards learning. I love facilitating and seeing the huge growth that occurs in each child – their academic growth as well as their social emotional growth. I am grateful for the opportunity to share God’s love with them and help them explore and develop their relationship with God too.”
What does Mrs Richards like to do in her spare time?
“In my spare time I love going to the beach for a swim and a walk, especially with my family and friends.“
