St Bridget’s is a warm and welcoming community where every child and family is known. The community of St Bridget’s is an extension of my own family and I feel a sense of belonging and connectedness. As Principal I feel privileged to lead this school and I’m excited about our future. Outside of school I enjoy walking to keep fit and spending quality time with my family and friends.

Administration/Office Manager

I love working at St. Bridget’s Primary school because of our unique boutique size, culture, caring staff and strong community which forms our vibrant working environment, led by a strong and engaging Principal. My role is interesting, rewarding and challenging but provides me with satisfaction. Students are encouraged to show respect, tolerance and compassion and to be Strong and Courageous, which is our school motto.
Students over all year levels are involved in Art, Italian, Music, PE,
swimming programs and carnivals, various sporting programs, choir, instrumental lessons, lunchtime chess and STEM program. Apart from teaching provided in class, the variety of activities offered to our students is wide.
I love being with my family and friends and playing tennis.

I love the warm community feel that comes with working in a small school like St Bridget’s. It’s a special thing to be able to get to know all students so well as it develops strong relationships between teacher and student, as well as fostering school and home partnerships. When I’m not teaching I love to read and engage in creative activities, such as painting.

I love the size of the school. With a smaller number of students you really get to know them. The staff is a close knit group. It feels like a country school in the middle of the city.

I joined the team at St Bridget’s in mid 2020 and it is an absolute privilege to work in such a caring, family-like environment. I love working alongside the Junior school teachers to best support students who may require a little more assistance. I am also very lucky to run Skipping Clubs during selected Breaks. Children from P-6 are given the chance to perfect skills & then perform routines at school events. In my spare time I love walking my dachshund Jax & also enjoy spending time at the footy with the whole family. Go Dees!

I look forward to gaining experience and providing a supportive and encouraging environment for the students.
