Welcome Emma Collett, as the new Dean of Education.
With decades of experience, Emma will be using the gifts and passions she has for higher education, to help train and develop teachers and leaders specifically within the Centre of Christian Education at Youthworks College

Emma is the Executive Minister at Church Hill Anglican. In her past she has been a teacher, a children’s minister, and an advisor for Youthworks. She is currently teaching the unit ‘Formative Christian teaching’ in the Centre for Christian Education.

When Nathan was 21 and a new Christian, he became involved in the youth ministry at his church. Now, he is the assistant chaplain at Trinity Grammar School, a boy’s school in Sydney’s inner west. In his spare time, he still loves skating!

A key lesson that Matt has learnt over the years has been to invest in training student leaders. Matt ran the Cru group in the junior school of around 20 kids, “When we had student leaders run the group instead of us, they prepared so thoroughly, they did the Bible talk, even at the young age of 12! We realised we needed to invest more, pray with the leaders, and train them.” Because of the student leaders, this group grew to around 50-60 kids.
