The Board of Christian Schools Tasmania is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Ambrose to the role of Principal at Calvin Christian School.
Scott’s appointment was made following a nationwide recruitment search where candidates from both Tasmania and the mainland were considered.
Scott’s name would be familiar to many in our community, with Scott having served as the Deputy Principal at Southern Christian College (formerly Kingston Christian Community School) for the past 13 years.
Scott holds a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours, a Bachelor of Teaching, a Graduate Certificate and Diploma in Indonesian and is currently undertaking a Masters’ Degree through Monash University.
During his time at Southern, Scott has held the following roles: Acting Principal, Deputy Principal, TASC Liaison Officer, Head of Faculty – Languages and IB Diploma Programme Coordinator and History and Languages Teacher. Prior to his appointment at Southern, Scott was an Asian Studies Tutor at the University of Tasmania.
In addition to serving as SCC’s Deputy, Scott is also the Tasmanian State Delegate for the Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Association (AFMLTA) serving as the State President for the Modern Language Teachers Association of Tasmania for two years. Scott is a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society, Modern Language Teachers Association of Tasmania and the History Teachers Association of Victoria.
Scott is married to Sonya and they have five children. Scott has been an active member of Hobart Baptist Church for over twenty years where he currently serves on the Church’s Leadership Team. Scott has been a Youth Group Leader at Hobart Baptist and also serves as a Leader at Hobart Boy’s Brigade.
Scott comes highly recommended, and we are truly blessed that he has accepted this very important role with Christian Schools Tasmania.
Scott will commence his new role as Calvin’s Principal on November 9, 2020.
We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mrs Ineke Laning who has done a truly amazing job serving as the School’s Acting Principal since Iain Belôt’s departure at the end of 2019. Ineke will be providing Scott with a handover during November and then we are finally releasing her to take a very much deserved retirement!
