Stuart Needham began teaching in 2004 at a large secondary school in Southampton, UK. It was a state school in an area with a low socioeconomic status. Students had very little and school could be challenging for some. This school helped Stuart develop an understanding that engagement, community and relationships were the foundation that quality learning should be built on.
After emigrating to Australia, Stuart began working at a growing independent school on the Sunshine Coast. During that time, he was fortunate to serve the students and staff as head of Science and head of teaching and learning. He continued to learn from inspirational leaders and was able, as part of a team, to develop several innovative programs and initiatives.
In 2014, he moved to Hervey Bay where he worked as a deputy principal of teaching and learning and senior school coordinator in both the Lutheran and Anglican systems. In these schools, he focused on creating with staff a mixture of agile spaces and contemporary pedagogy that supported students developing skills for success in the future.
He returned to Brisbane in 2018 and took on the role of head of secondary school at Faith Lutheran College. With the great team of leaders and educators, he has facilitated a change in the way learning is delivered – creating a greater focus on students, contemporary learning, contemporary spaces, strong relationships and community.
