About me
Robert is driven by a simple idea: making the invisible visible. As Director of Data Analytics at Marcellin College, he leads the design of data systems that draw on every area of college life to connect school strategy to classroom practice and individual teacher growth, giving people access to evidence of their own practice and the confidence to ask whether what they are doing is working.
Guided by the belief that schools should measure what they value rather than value what they measure, Robert's work begins with strategic intent and builds outward, designing data infrastructure that fosters curiosity, exploration and inquiry. He looks for the places where the right information, clearly told, can add genuine value to what already exists, sparking better questions rather than simply delivering answers. He believes the most important question in school data work is not what the numbers say, but whether they create the conditions for people and institutions to improve.
He has presented at the Marist Schools Australia Data Network Conference and the ICT in Schools Summit, and has run workshops nationally on data storytelling and evidence-informed practice.
Robert holds a Bachelor of Biological Sciences, Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary), and a Master of Educational Leadership (Leading Learning).
