Bio
Mr Peter Wilkinson qualified with a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws from The University of Queensland in 1986 and 1990 which led to a career as a solicitor. His connection with CHC goes back to 2005/2006 when he completed a Bachelor of Education (Secondary – Graduate Entry) which came out of a personal desire to explore a different direction in life.

He commenced contract teaching in the Queensland state system in 2007 and soon after secured a permanent teaching position in an independent Christian school. His teaching career progressed quickly with appointment to a school leadership role as Head of Secondary in 2011.
