Principal of Cornish College since 2019, Nicola Forrest is an outstanding and courageous school leader with visionary and inspiring ideas about curriculum innovation.
She has a clear understanding about how schools need to adapt and change to meet the needs of young people today and is committed to developing a more conceptual, transferable curriculum that’s responsive to the modern, fast-changing world.
“Ultimately, it is the opportunities a Cornish education creates for critical thinking, entrepreneurial mindsets and systems thinking that steers our young people towards taking sustainable action for a better future for all,” Nicola said.
“This is one of the greatest reasons for us to continue to make changes in education and a compelling reason for us to be incredibly proud of this generation of change-makers.”
Cornish College Board chair Dr Bev Menner said: “I truly believe the Australian education system would be vastly improved with more people like Nicola in leadership roles.”
