A group of more than 100 new SCEA employees spent time at Swan Christian College’s Maalia Mia Theatre on Monday 20 January 2024, to learn about the history of SCEA, the different roles and departments that make up the SCEA Office and the vision for us as Christian educators in 2025.
The SCEA Induction Day allows all new employees to hear directly from the Chief Education Officer (CEO), Dr Graeme Cross, and other members of the Senior Support Team about the way our seven schools interact with the SCEA Head Office.
Each participant was given a ‘Welcome Pack’, which included a letter from the CEO, a calendar of the year with a list of important dates, a SCEA organisational chart, a ‘Mission, Vision & Values’ booklet, and a Gospel-Inspired booklet relevant to their area of expertise (teaching or support staff).
Dr Cross outlined some of the historical beginnings of SCEA through the ‘SCEA Pioneers’ video and spoke to the goals that SCEA schools should strive towards in nurturing young people in this modern age.
Presentations from each of the major areas (Mr Sid Rajanayagam from Human Resources, Mr Nick Wood in Operations, Mr Wayne Fewster from ICT, Dr Gregg Weaver as the Chief Education Officer and Mr Giles Creelman in Marketing & Partnerships) outlining their departments and their commitment to seeing SCEA schools flourish in 2025.
Dr Gregg Weaver (Chief Education Officer) worked with the teaching staff during separate sessions on Tuesday, 21 January 2025 to explore SCEA’ Gospel Inspired Teaching and Learning Framework.
Below are a few snapshots from the days set aside to welcome new staff into SCEA for 2025.
