Getting individuals towards knowledge and growth through fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence.

empowering education

Welcome

Hi, my name is Nathan Hayes and I am Principle at St Francis of Assisi College in the Riverland region. I am passionate about education and collaborating with fellow peers to explore how we can continuously develop the education we bring to children and young people.

This space is dedicated to sharing my perspectives on education and learning from, and connecting with, fellow educators.

I am committed to contemporary teaching and learning where young people are free to be themselves and delight in their surroundings. Education should motivate, support, and challenge students and I believe it is our essential role to promote a lifelong passion for learning.

I hope this site can be a space to encourage questioning, interpretation, reflection, and problem solving while developing curiosity, creativity, and persistence.
