Student Services

Wow! What more could a Program Coordinator - Student Services want!? Lush green pastures, champion staff, students and families, and then throw in some yummy lunches, and this school has it made! I’m super grateful to be part of the team here for term four of 2023 and term one of 2024. 

I am passionate about supporting young people to be their best! It’s been great over the last few weeks to hear student, staff and parent celebrations and successes, along with being able to listen to the struggles that all humans experience. I am here to listen; support and problem solve. If I’m not the best person to support you, I'm an awesome conduit to get you connected with those people; in our school, in residence and/or any external services, who can best meet your current needs.

I’ve recently moved down here from Bunbury, where I’ve spent the past few years in Deputy Principal and Learning Support Coordinator roles in primary and secondary schools, and an Education Support Centre. My two favourite things in life are live music and the beach, so thank you Denmark for having both easily accessible. I have two teenage children of my own, which I believe has set me up well to understand and empathise with the young people I will have an opportunity to support at our College. 

Thank you to the school community for welcoming me, I look forward to getting to know you all further as the term progresses. I’ll see you down in The Hive!
