Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
I am privileged to have been appointed as Principal to this outstanding school in April, 2020. As a school leader, my aim is to ensure that every student receives a high quality education because every student matters, this is their right and education enables empowerment. I do this by recognising the needs of every student, developing learning and wellbeing programs that are contextually relevant to the school community and that are responsive, flexible and innovative.
Over 30 years, I have been blessed to learn from many students, families and colleagues. From teaching in classroom and support roles, to leading other educators as an Assistant Principal, literacy consultant, Deputy Principal and Principal, I have continued to grow and develop as a teacher and leader. At Mount Riverview Public School, I take on my third principalship. I pride myself on being the lead learner and working collaboratively with staff on our journey to delivering outstanding educational outcomes for all the students in our care.
