Pat Hamilton – Principal
Pat Hamilton is the current Principal of the College. She gained her wide educational experience, from 25 year in mainstream education, before deciding to diversify and become an osteopath. She obtained a Bachelors degree in education, and a Masters degree in science education, before achieving her degree in Osteopathy through part-time study as an adult learner.
