Samia Hairsine's Company Details
Cannon Hill Anglican College is a co-educational Prep to Year 12 Anglican College, situated less than 15km east of Brisbane's CBD.The College staff (including full-time and part-time employees) comprises 76 teachers within a total staff of 158, including seven employed in businesses conducted by the Parents and Friends' Association and 15 part-time Music Tutors.The College is committed to supporting all staff in their lifelong learning journey. CHAC staff are encouraged to pursue post graduate study options, with further opportunities for representation at state, national and international conferences. Professional development workshops are continually conducted for staff throughout the year, to enhance the professional culture, capability and performance, and to promote collegiality amongst staff.Staff new to the College often refer to the friendly nature and cohesive spirit of the team at CHAC. This doesn't happen by accident and is the result of inspired management, passionate and committed leadership, and shared vision and values.The College Council is the Board of Directors of Cannon Hill Anglican College Pty Ltd, and is responsible for the governance of the College. Council is concerned with overall direction and policy and does not direct the day-to-day operations or management of the College. Under the Direction of the Principal, the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) prepare and manage the implementation of the College's strategic direction, ensuring that priority areas and projects are on task and on schedule. Aspects of the College which always attract the most comments from visitors are the politeness and friendliness of students, the passionate teachers, the wonderful ‘feel' of the campus, and the beautiful environment. As a College based on pathways rather than corridors, and trees for natural shade rather than man-made structures, it is not surprising therefore that visitors quickly appreciate the serenity of such a natural setting.
