Dr Paul Hine (B.A., Dip Ed., M.Ed.St., PhD., Adjunct Research Fellow Curtin University of Technology) is currently Principal at Saint Ignatius' College Riverview. He has been involved in senior educational administration for 20 years, having served as Principal of three schools in Australia. Over many years, Paul has been involved in a variety of educational and para-educational activities. As Chair of the Multicultural Education Committee (2006-2012), a Ministerial Advisory Committee on teaching of languages and culturally inclusive curriculum, Paul worked to promote the case of languages and multiculturalism in schools across the three educational sectors in South Australia. Paul also served as a board member for the Ethnic Schools Board (2006 - 2012), which facilitates the teaching and learning of community languages in Ethnic schools across the state. Paul's research interest is in the area of classroom environment, particularly the psycho-social characteristics of classrooms and their relationship to student learning. In 2000 and 2002, Paul presented papers in New Orleans at the American Education Research Association, which is one of the largest symposiums for academics involved in educational research in the world. In 2001, Paul was awarded a PhD from Curtin University of Technology for his research into the psycho-social dimensions of classroom environments and has since examined Doctoral theses in that field. He has been an Adjunct Research Fellow at Curtin University of Technology and Guest Lecturer at the University of Adelaide in both the undergraduate teaching program and the Masters Program, maintaining a strong interest in academic work and research.
