Introducing Mr David Gray – Director of Mission & Community / HSIE Coordinator
Where have you come from?
My family and I recently moved from Mona Vale on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I have previously worked at Covenant Christian School within the Secondary School (started 2009) and my most recent position was Director of the National Institute for Christian Education, a postgraduate training arm for teachers and administrators in Christian schools. Prior to my involvement in education circles, I worked in magazine distribution and publication.
What church do you attend?
Together with my wife Anna and two young boys, Darcy and Jude, we are currently looking for a new church family. We have recently settled into the area just south of Warners Bay and are in the process of making that decision. Your prayers are appreciated as we visit local churches with a goal to put down roots in a church community as soon as possible.
What are your interests?
I love surfing, running, camping, reading, gardening and spending quality time with my family.
A little bit about your new position at the College.
My role at the College is multi-faceted. Alongside teaching young people (which I love to do) and leading the HSIE faculty in Secondary School, I am tasked with working alongside the College community in ensuring that we remain on mission. As a Christian College, we have a mission and vision to grow young people up into Christ. What does that look like in the day to day? How are we going about that? What messages do we share with students each day around what it means to be in Christian community? How is a biblical worldview being applied to our education strategies, College processes, team structures, College celebrations, wellbeing, discipline? Once we reflect on these things, my other role is to consider how we then promote the College to the wider community in an authentic and appropriate manner. I am privileged and honoured to join the BCC community and look forward to meeting many of you in the coming months.
Any other information you’d like to share.
My eldest son Darcy has thoroughly enjoyed joining the BCC Prep class. It has been such a warm and welcoming community and together with my wife Anna, we want to thank you for having us.
