Staff story

Genuine hearts to make a difference

Staff story

Two reasons I love working at PVCC…

Being part of a diverse team of people who strive to create and foster an atmosphere of learning, care, and spiritual growth.

Being involved in the intentional formation of shared experiences such as Year 10 Mission trips to Thailand and Vanuatu, Year 9 Feathertop hike, Heart of the Valley, and Relay for Life.  Such opportunities enable and encourage staff, students, and the wider PVCC community, to work together to contribute, risk, serve, and grow in many facets of life, as well as provide many rich, lasting memories.
