Greg Whitby is the Executive Director of Schools and leads a system of approximately 80 Catholic schools serving the Catholic community of greater Western Sydney.

He has 30 years combined experience in K-12 schooling and senior system leadership.

In recognising the critical link between good teaching practice and student learning outcomes, Greg is working to build the capacity of school leaders and teachers through a whole-of-system approach to professional learning.

In 2007, he was named the most innovative educator in Australia by the Bulletin Magazine in its annual SMART 100 awards. Greg has also been awarded an ACEL Presidential Citation for his contribution to Australian education.

We are an extraordinary creation. We are gifted with a tool called mind that can perform wonders. Every man creates a world of virtue or vice, pleasure or pain out of his own mind. When we learn something more about human mechanism and particularly the mind, which controls it – there is no limit to the heights we can climb.

No scientific laboratory in the world is equivalent to the laboratory we have within ourselves. See This Sitehttp://www.essortment.com/all/powersofthemi_rwfq.htm
