Principal's Welcome


To know your purpose is a wonderful gift…….

Purpose brings meaning and clarity to every aspect of your life. At Norwest we are committed to ensuring that each young person in our care knows that they have a God-given purpose and are equipped to capably pursue that purpose. To do this, we partner with parents to grow confident, capable and compassionate learners.  Young people develop confidence in an environment where they are encouraged to know who they are and who they were created to be. Our staff are committed to ensuring that every young person comes to know that they are loved by God, known by God, and that He has a plan for their lives.

Our focus on developing both the knowledge and skills required for powerful learning enables each young person to grow their capacity so that they can competently pursue their purpose. Our focus on excellence inspires students to aim for their personal best in all that they do.

We were created to live in community. Therefore, a life of meaning and purpose is only truly developed when we are each focused on the needs of others. At Norwest, we cultivate opportunities for young people to grow compassion by serving both locally and globally.

At the heart of all that we do at Norwest is the College's Building Purposeful Lives framework. The active implementation of this framework by educators in partnership with parents enables young people to equip themselves with the skills, knowledge and self-confidence to discover the purpose for which they were created and pursue it with confidence.

I look forward to partnering with you in your journey towards a fulfilling and inspiring future for your child, in a place where Jesus is given His rightful place, and students are supported and connected as part of a close-knit community that encourages them to Love God, Pursue their Purpose, and Build their Capacity.
