The quality of our staff, their commitment to the care and nurturing of children, their operation as professionals and their growth as a unified team are some of our greatest strengths. Arise has developed a local reputation for being a caring community and this has largely been earned as a result of the efforts of the staff.
The current leadership staff are Mrs Cathy Wanganga and Mr Nigel Limon. They both joined us from Maitland Christian School, and each has over 20 years’ experience as educators in Christian Schools, including many years working with students who struggle academically, and previous experience in Learning Support and special education.
