Barker College has appointed Mr Nicholas Moss and Mr Tim Eastman as Head of Senior School and Head for Years 7 – 9, respectively.
Following an extensive national search, Mr Nicholas Moss has commenced as the new Head of Senior School at Barker College from the commencement of Term 3 2024.
Mr Moss replaces the long serving incumbent in this role, Mr David Giltrap, after 23 years.
Mr Moss was the Assistant Principal Curriculum at Radford College in the ACT, a school he served for the past 17 years in a range of positions. A graduate of the Universities of Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, Mr Moss is an exceptional teacher of Geography and Global Studies who enjoys a strong reputation for academic and pastoral leadership in all the posts he has previously filled.
In the Barker Middle School, Mr Eastman has been appointed as the Head for Years 7 – 9.
Mr Eastman is a celebrated teacher of History and an exceptional Dean of the Middle School. He is well known across the Barker community for his warmth, intellectual energy, wit and effective leadership. He is extensively involved in the Barker cocurricular life and leads with energy and compassion.
Mr Eastman brings deep knowledge of the Barker Way and will be a vital part of the link with the Senior School to ensure that whilst Barker’s students enjoy a fresh start in their Senior Schooling, this will not be at the loss of continuity of care between the two sub schools in the Barker Secondary School.
Mr Eastman’s appointment follows the move of outgoing Head of Middle School, Mr James Denton, into the newly created position at Barker of Director of Academic High Performance.
Barker College will celebrate its 50th anniversary of coeducation in 2025 and the School has much to anticipate in the future.
