Noosa Christian College Staff

Our Principal

Mrs Bronwyn Rosendahl – College Principal

 

God placed a love for teaching on my heart when I was just five years old, and ever since, there has been nothing else I’d rather do! My passion for Adventist education has led me to engage with staff, students, and their families for over 25 years, sharing Jesus and encouraging students to flourish in all aspects of their lives.
 
At Noosa Christian College, we strive to create a nurturing, Christ-centred environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Our college is more than just a place of learning – it is a community that fosters faith, excellence, and a love for service. We are dedicated to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to thrive in their chosen fields and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
 
I feel incredibly blessed to serve in such a beautiful place with amazing people, and I look forward to welcoming you into our college family. My prayer for each of you is: “Mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance.” – Jude 1:2
