New Independent School for Woolgoolga

Monday, 23 Sept 2019


An exciting development has occurred with Bishop Druitt College Council endorsing both the Principal Mr Nick Johnstone and the college Chair Mr David Ford to investigate the establishment of a second campus in the Woolgoolga region. This campus will initially focus on Preschool to Year 4.

Mr Johnstone has commissioned the Independent Schools Association to conduct a demographic study of the region with positive results. The regional growth has been endorsed by renowned demographer Bernard Salt. 'The Northern Beaches region and Woolgoola, in particular, are growth regions and all are seeking another school to meet the shortfall,' Mr Johnstone said.

College Chair, Mr David Ford, stated that 'we are vigorously exploring a Pre-school to Year 4 campus in the region and have already investigated a number of potential sites.'
