Dr Siamak Goudarzi, Principal

Welcome to your college, Spinnaker, a centre for learning a new language, making new friends, and experiencing a new culture. Our aim is to create a dynamic environment within which students feel at home, and receive all the support they need to achieve their educational goals.

In the very first few years, Spinnaker College has achieved approvals and earned a reputation and credibility that normally takes many years to establish.

We, the management, the teachers, administrative staff and the students, who form a unified team, have the will and the ability to form the good traditions of a successful college.

I am sure that our students will not only live up to those traditions but also excel in every field to demonstrate this college as "A centre for excellence". In coming years, I am confident that this collective work will produce "professionals with distinctive attitudes and educational skills".
