Meet Our Teachers

When I walked through the doors of Our Lady Perpetual Help, there was an instant feeling of welcome and a strong sense of community.  I am honoured to be the new Principal of Our Lady’s and am excited to get to know all our families.

I have been in teaching for a long time and I feel privileged to be in the education sector.   Outside of work I enjoy travel, playing golf and spending time with family and friends.  I’m a keen Tigers supporter and enjoy going to the MCG .

I joined Our Lady’s in 2017 and immediately felt at home.  The staff, students and families were welcoming and immediately made me feel that I belonged.  I love how the students are accepting of everyone.  Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family, walking and reading a book.

Our school is a wonderful place to work. We strive to create a happy, safe environment for all students to learn in. The staff work collaboratively in teams. My role is exciting in that I work with all teaching teams to support them in the teaching and learning of English.

After thirty years of teaching, the students, working in partnership with parents, smiles and those ‘light bulb’ moments when new learning is understood, are still a few of my favourite things. Outside of school; my husband, my four beautiful children, reading and mathematics, are the loves of my life!

I love working with children and I get excited when they realise they know something new, like reading or writing, for the first time. At home I like to spend time with my three children.

Working with a mix of adults and children is what I love most about my job. What is amazing is the incredible outlook a child’s perspective can give you, as well as the mentoring and support fellow staff members can provide. I love it when the children bring the inner child out of me!

I love working with the Junior Level students.  It is always wonderful to see the students learn and grow through these new experiences!

The best thing about Our Lady’s School is its diversity. I love working with so many wonderful families and students every day. At home I love to walk, cycle and share time with my family.

I work in the office and my job here is to welcome you to our school and assist you with your daily questions. I love to have a chat and get to know our families.
At home I like to walk my dog, watch movies and relax with my family.

Working at Our Lady’s, I count myself very lucky! Not only do I get to follow my passion of teaching, I am also greatly supported by a wonderful school community.

Outside of school, I love to spend time creating arts/crafts or barracking for the Tigers surrounded by family and friends.

I am very excited to have joined Our Lady’s this year. The school community has made me feel so welcome. I love the enthusiasm of the students and the way the teachers work collaboratively to ensure the best for all students. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and being a part of this wonderful community. Outside of school I enjoy going for walks and catching up with friends.

Our Lady’s is such a supportive community where everyone matters. I love working in the Junior Level and seeing the creativity and talents of all my students grow and change throughout the year. Outside of school I love to spend time with my family and my dogs.

What I love most about teaching is being able to help and watch students grow academically and holistically. I enjoy the enthusiasm and energy the Middle students bring each day. Outside of school, I enjoy camping, craft and spending time with my family and friends.

Our Lady’s has a wonderful sense of community. It is a joy to work with the staff and students to learn and grow together. During my time away from work I love to spend time with my family and friends. 

Coming Soon

It’s a pleasure to be a part of such a diverse and welcoming community here at Our Lady’s. As a teacher, I love being a part of a child’s sense of discovery and that every learning journey is different. Outside of school I enjoy being outdoors, as well as spending time with family and friends.

I enjoy working in the Senior Level because it’s such a great year to watch the students become independent learners and work together to problem solve. In my spare time I love spending time with my son, shopping and catching up with family.

I am filled with immense joy and gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible community. The students’ enthusiasm for learning and their genuine curiosity inspire me every day. The supportive and collaborative environment created by the staff and families, allows me to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of these young learners. Outside of school, I enjoy all things arts & crafts, spending time with my family, and competing in the local dart team.

I feel very privileged to be a part of the Our Lady’s community as both staff and families have been so welcoming. I look forward to getting to know everyone better and being a part of all the wonderful learning that is taking place. Outside of school I enjoy playing netball and catching up with family and friends.

I love working at Our Lady’s because I get to work with a great bunch of children every day. One thing I love doing outside of school is spending time with my family and dogs.

Our Lady’s is such a supportive community where everyone matters. I love working in the Junior Level and seeing the creativity and talents of all my students grow and change throughout the year. Outside of school I love to spend time with my family and my dogs.

I love speaking Italian; my first language, and teaching the students songs, games and learning to read and write in Italian. Identity is major part of our being and I want the children to embrace their own culture whilst learning about Italian traditions and customs. I like socialising and volunteering.

I love the chance to make a difference in young people’s lives: to inspire them to be creative, to nurture their confidence and to allow them an opportunity to develop relationships through team work and exploration of topics while learning dance, drama and music.  I love swimming and travelling.

I love my job! I love working with the children at our school and the joy they greet me with each day. I enjoy providing them with sporting opportunities and working with them in and out of the classroom.

I have the dream job! I love teaching Visual Arts. Students get to explore new ways of creating art and learn to appreciate and reflect on their own artwork and that of others. It is a stress free time where students can be proud of their achievements.

I love working with the staff and students at Our Lady’s School, we are all very dedicated and really enjoy working with our special students. The students are very respectful towards each other and it’s so rewarding watching the students achieve their learning goals.

I love seeing the students using their own initiative when presenting their ideas. I love seeing their enthusiasm.
Outside of school I love to spend time with my family and play team sports with them. I love playing instruments and going to different places.

I love having excited students in the library, asking about the next book in a series, or asking for more books from a favourite author.
I’m a huge reader, plus I enjoy making cards, jewellery and cross-stitching Christmas ornaments.
