Philip Mark Bradley

- NZCPT Proprietor Appointee

I join the KingsView School board as a proprietor appointee by being the Chief Executive Offi cer for the NZ Christian Proprietors Trust. As I reside in Auckland, I typically participate online.

God has a life plan for each of us. Mine began as the oldest son in a family committed to full-time Christian service. As a pre-schooler, I memorised and took to heart the words of Jesus, written in Mark 11:22, which encourage us to “Have faith in God.” And I have. It’s threaded through my academic, business, community and family life.

Academically, I’ve completed studies in architecture at Auckland University, finished postgraduate training in secondary school teaching and been awarded a Master of Social and Community Leadership, specialising in school governance. In business, I founded a graphic design and marketing studio focussed on the education sector, which grew to a small staff of seven and offices in Auckland and Sydney. I have consulted to schools in New Zealand and overseas for community engagement, communication and international marketing. I’ve been involved in my local community as a board member at Epsom Girls Grammar and Excel School of Performing Arts, as well as church service at Life (Central), all in Auckland. My family journey over the past 33 years has been with my wife, Suzanne, and our three daughters. My wife is a full-time teacher, and I have three adult daughters who all have a personal and practical faith in God.
