Meet Andy Murray

Andrew Murray is a teacher of commerce, Head of Clarke House and is the Formula 1 in Schools Program Coordinator. He connects the classroom to the real world, making learning exciting and relevant. Having worked as an accountant and business consultant, Andy found fulfilment in teaching and mentoring. He combined his passion for training with volunteering for the Australian Air Force Cadets, inspiring him to pursue a career in education.

Andy’s decade-long corporate background brings a unique perspective to his methods. He links commerce with real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Taking students on excursions to small businesses to hear from owners about entrepreneurship, empowers our students with firsthand insights and a unique application of their learnings.

“I’m passionate about bringing real-world connections into learning for Korowa’s students,” says Andy, emphasising the value of experiential learning. His cross-curricular approach mirrors complex challenges students will face post school.

Beyond commerce and teaching, Andy holds a Bachelor of Antarctic Science, reflecting his spirit of exploration, although he is yet to visit Antarctica! Living and working in four different States, including an underground coal mine stint, adds diversity to his teaching.

“I believe in expanding opportunities for students to get involved in practical and applied learning,” Andy shares. As the Formula 1 in Schools Program Coordinator at Korowa, he challenges students to think critically and innovate.

His commitment to integrating the real world into education makes him a cherished asset to the Korowa community.
