I have a passion for reading, meeting up with friends for a cuppa, exploring new places and bush walking. I think that there is something very special about the colour navy blue and I'm a lover of golden retriever dogs. I enjoy rowing in regattas. My focus is enriching students' knowledge of safe and respectful learning practices as they experience and enjoy their final primary school year.
