The College is now a vibrant community and thousands of graduates have passed through the College gates.
“I am very humbled to receive this award but I accept this on behalf of the large number of outstanding, dedicated and committed educators who have worked alongside me in the realisation of our vision to establish a school that would leave a legacy for children in the Redland Shire.”
Dr Bishop also said, “We were inspired to establish Sheldon College as I have a fundamental belief in providing a first-class educational experience for children that would see them equipped to become worthwhile and contributing citizens in a dynamic and ever-changing global community.”
Mr Chris Wigan, College Board Chair said, “Sheldon College is the product of vision, commitment and an unwavering passion for education. Dr Bishop is an outstanding leader and educator who has overcome many obstacles over the years in order for Sheldon College to continue to deliver excellent educational outcomes for every student.”
