Meet Our Teachers

I love leading the community of Our Holy Redeemer where I am genuinely passionate about the quality of the teaching and learning we offer our students.  I am privileged to be part of a community that prides itself on developing quality relationships between the staff, students and parents.

I love working at Our Holy Redeemer because of the connections and positive relationships that are built between students, families, staff and the wider community. Outside of school I love playing and watching sport and spending time with my wife and 3 daughters.

I feel very fortunate to be part of the OHR community, working in administration to help students, teachers and parents in their OHR journey. Every day is different and rewarding. When not at OHR, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, pastel painting and attending musicals and theatre.

I feel incredibly priviledged to be a part of the OHR community. Our school is a dynamic and vibrant place of learning for staff and students alike. As a Prep Teacher,  welcoming new families and facilitating a positive start to school life is most rewarding.

Teaching is such a rewarding job! I love waking up everyday knowing that I am part of shaping our future minds.  This both excites and inspires me. When home, I love spending time with my family.

Teaching is an adventure. Each day there is something new to learn, an exciting idea to try out and such a privilege to be working with our young students. Our school always seems to be buzzing away with amazing things happening in each room.

OHR is a welcoming, community minded place to be and one that I feel blessed to be a part of. I am passionate about teaching and learning and particularly in the area of mathematics. I believe that encouraging a growth mindset fosters a deeper and broader mathematical understanding and sets our students up for lifelong learning.

I love working at OHR because the children love coming to school to learn. As a small school, all staff are invested in all of the children, all of the time. Everyone knows and respects each other.  I love to go the footy and barrack for the mighty Kangaroos.

 I have been welcomed into Our Holy Redeemer School with open arms and hearts. Working amongst the people in this lovely community is a blessing. The children are delightful and I am enjoying getting to know everyone.

‘We must teach more by example than word.’ Mary McKillop. Mary’s quote reminds me to be a compassionate and caring teacher.

Our Holy Redeemer is a is a warm, welcoming and a very supportive community to work in.  The variety of my role within the school enables me to share experiences with students across the year levels.  When not at school I enjoy hiking with my family.

I am delighted to be part of OHR and work alongside wonderful staff, students and parents. As a teacher, I am committed to getting to know all my students as individuals and nurture them in their learning journey. The highlight of teaching for me is watching students’ enjoyment and sense of pride as they achieve success. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time cooking and going on beach walks with my family and friends.

The strong sense of community among the staff and families at Our Holy Redeemer makes it a fantastic place to work. I love assisting the students to have success with their learning and achieve their goals. My favourite things are spending time with my family and friends, cooking and camping.

I am proud to be part of the Our Holy Redeemer community. I am passionate about sharing my love of learning with the students at our school, and feel privileged to help them to grow and succeed. I aim to place student wellbeing at the heart of my teaching. Outside of school, I love staying active and spending time with my family and friends.

Our Holy Redeemer is an intimate community where all students are known. I love working alongside my colleagues to improve my teaching and therefore improve the learning of the students. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and getting lost in a good book!

I feel blessed to have joined such a beautiful school community. The children and staff are so kind and welcoming. I love teaching. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my spoodle Jessie.

I’m so happy to be joining the thriving community at OHR and I have loved getting to know all the students and families here. I love working alongside the students to problem solve and take risks in their learning. On the weekend I love to spend time with my family and friends, watch the footy and go to Pilates!

Belonging to the professional,vibrant staff of OHR is a rewarding experience in many ways. There is a culture of shared responsibility with an emphasis on continual learning and growth as a teacher. When I’m not at school I enjoy travelling, sewing and spending time with family and friends.

My aim at Our Holy Redeemer, teaching Physical Education, is to develop a range of students’ physical competencies enabling them to perform and enjoy various physical activities and sports with confidence, both in and out of the school community. In addition to developing students’ movement skills, Physical Education comes with a range of benefits, including mental, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Fun and Fitness!! I love my Pilates, occasional fun run, walking, stand up paddle boarding and of course the Geelong Football Club. Go Cats!!

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to share my passion for Science and STEM with every student at OHR. Although I have taught Science for over 20 years, I still delight in the excitement, the wonder and the ‘magic’ that happens in a Science class.

As a specialist Performing Arts teacher, I get to teach every student in this wonderful school. I meet them at Prep and I teach them all the way up to graduation. Along the way we have a lot of fun, lots of laughter and play. It’s a truly unique subject and for me, a wonderful experience.

Working at OHR I have the opportunity to inspire and encourage students from all year levels to learn another language. Having lived in China, I enjoy sharing my experiences of the Chinese culture with my students. Away from the classroom I enjoy gardening, travelling and photography.

I’m passionate about working collaboratively with students, families and staff to ensure all students are supported to learn, grow and succeed. I coordinate and facilitate systematically designed literacy instruction for small groups of children who require intensive support in achieving grade level expectations for reading. Empowering students to develop confidence in themselves as learners,  to make connections in their learning and to experience ongoing success is what fuels my passion to help students learn how they learn best. At home, I embrace opportunities with my family to connect with nature and explore the joy and insight that ‘The Arts’ bring to our lives and community. 

OHR is a place of community and values. Happy and safe children equals enthusiasm to learn and wanting to go.   I love my role as LSO supporting our students to be the best of themselves. My interests are cooking and going for long walks and spending time with my family.

As an LSO I find being part of our students’ learning experience truly rewarding. I am passionate about supporting each child in achieving their potential in an inclusive and welcoming environment. In private life, I love spending time with my family and friends, travelling, going for long walks and reading.

It has always been my passion to motivate and inspire students, whilst on their learning journey at school. I am looking forward to sharing their successes and accomplishments, as I take on the role of LSO at OHR, this year. Outside school, I enjoy gardening, baking and listening to music. 

What a wonderful opportunity I have been given to work at OHR – such a friendly, caring and supportive community. Looking after those students who need a little extra help is a real privilege. Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family supporting the mighty Demons in the footy and team Red Bull in Formula 1.
