Daniel Bennett

Principal

Daniel Bennett is the Principal of Horizon School. His background includes broad experience in social science research and issue-based analysis, a Master’s degree in Cross-Cultural management, and extensive travel experience. Delving into social and economic issues and their underlying causes is a passion of mine. He has a proven analytical ability, having planned, written, and published large-scale research reports.

Prior to his role at Horizon, he was the Head of Senior School at KingsWay School in Red Beach. His experience, both as a researcher in a policy think tank and, more recently, as an educator, has allowed him to hone his communication skills, giving him the ability to build relationships across diverse groups and team-related skills.

At Horizon School our mission for all is to “Foster Lifelong Growth in Learners who will demonstrate a Loving Life and a Living Faith, and who are Looking Forward”. With a range of rich, collaborative and flexible education programmes staff ensure that students are engaged, happy and successful in their learning and prepared for the world beyond school.

Horizon School has a creative and reflective staff working to inspire and challenge our learners. It is great to see self-management and enthusiasm in response to new learning. Laughter and sparkling eyes are common. Our roll is growing and we have new classrooms, staffroom and offices to meet the needs of our expanding school community

We are a Composite School, for students from Years 1 - 13, providing that pathway to allow students and families to complete their compulsory education journey at the same place.

At Horizon School we value strong relationships with our community and we welcome visitors, many of whom come to observe, volunteer, inquire or enrol.
