Senior School leadership team
The Senior School leadership has a renewed structure, with new deputy roles focused on specific year groups. Head of Senior School Rod Olsen is now joined by Deputy Head of Senior School (Years 7 to 9) Berian Williams-Jones and Deputy Head of Senior School (Years 10 to 12) Josh Di Bella.
Berian Williams-Jones was most recently Director of Boarding at Brisbane Grammar School. He has an extensive background with senior roles in student management and pastoral care, curriculum development, data management and reporting at several schools in both Australia and the UK.
Berian’s role includes looking after the wellbeing of our Years 7 to 9 students and behaviour management. He enjoys working collaboratively with his colleagues to deliver events and experiences that students value and appreciate, and celebrating the success of students when they reach the goals or challenges placed before them.
Berian has settled into Churchie very well, noting, ‘I have found the boys to be academically ambitious, keen to be involved in cocurricular activities and, most of all, very proud of their school, and that says much for a Churchie education.’
Josh Di Bella is already well known to the Churchie community as Head of Year 7 and recently Acting Deputy Head of Senior School. Josh is responsible for the oversight of Churchie’s Pastoral Learning programme, working with students across a variety of pastoral matters, predominately in Years 10 to 12. During his time at Churchie, Josh has been involved across the life of the School, having welcomed many new families to the Senior School as Head of Year 7 and forming relationships that will continue to serve the community in his new role.
He loves to see each year level working cohesively together to achieve their own goals across all four tenets—academic excellence, spiritual awareness, personal growth and service—in a respectful and thriving environment.
The structure of the School provides a lot of opportunity for boys to grow across all tenets. This creates a rewarding workplace.
