How long have you been at Mercedes College?
Three years.
What do you love about your role?
I love the infinite potential of education! I love that people can always find meaning and purpose in learning new things and new ways of doing things. I also really enjoy the connection and collaboration with others, and this often extends beyond our Campus.
How is learning at Mercedes College different, exciting for students?
The opportunities for real world impact and influence are significant. Our community has students and educators who are looking to push themselves, to strive to be better, whilst remaining grounded and down to earth at the same time.
How would you describe a Mercedes College student in three words?
Principled, collaborative and balanced.
How does Mercedes College prepare students to be lifelong learners?
We establish habits for lifelong learning through explicit instruction and assessment of the International Baccalaureate (IB), so our students, first and foremost, are taught how to learn. Our educators help students to think about how they use skills for problem solving but also to know ways of acquiring new knowledge.
What do you do to relax?
Outside of work, I am a busy mum trying to keep on top of my childrens’ busy schedules! I relax catching up with close friends, on dinner dates with my husband and during Faith formation activities, like attending Retreats, going to Church and being in nature, either the beach or the hills.
