Hello St. John's Community. I am delighted to be joining the staff of St. John's School in 2022 in the role of Co-Deputy Principal and Wellbeing.  For the last four years I have been a Religious Education Leader; a role I have enjoyed immensely. I have been an educator for 30 years and I feel very privileged to have supported children to achieve their personal learning goals; developing the skills, knowledge and learning dispositions they need to help them grow and flourish. Promoting children’s voice and active engagement through a child centered approach, is a core belief that drives me as an educator.  Creating conditions that support the safety, wellbeing and inclusion of all is integral to learning success.

I am a lifelong learner and I have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Administration. I have also recently been undertaking postgraduate study in Religious Education. I look forward to working in partnership with all families, celebrating the richness and diversity of this wonderful community in the light of its 100 year old story. In the role of Wellbeing Leader, I am particularly focussed on supporting children, staff and families as we re-establish a sense of connection, which has been significantly disrupted over these past two years of the pandemic. I look forward to learning the St. John's way and sharing all that I have to offer. Through our positive and respectful relationships, we may be the light of Christ for one another. 

In my time away from work, I can usually be found on a boundary line, courtside or on a pool deck.  I am the proud mother of three very sporty children and it gives me great joy to see them all live life to the full. My happy place is my garden which has become a lovely, calming and mindful hobby. Having grown up in North Footscray, I am also a proud Western Bulldogs fan.
