Meet Our Teachers

I’m proud to be Principal of Box Hill North Primary School, inspired each day by the passionate staff and the high-quality teaching that places students at the centre of everything we do. I am committed to fostering a positive, ambitious learning environment. Outside of school, I love taking my two dogs to the beach and obsessing over my new lawn.

As a passionate educator, I love the emphasis that all within our community places on student learning and wellbeing. I am inspired daily by our student’s curiosity, confidence, and kindness. Our educators are amazing, providing our students with endless encouragement and opportunities to succeed and in doing so enabling each student to grow and believe in themselves. I value the strong relationships built with students, staff, and families at BHN. Our collective dedication helps every learner feel supported, inspired and empowered to succeed.

I love being part of the collaboration of our staff, students and families as a unique community. When I am away from school, I love getting into the garden, socialising with family and friends and disappearing off to the river for a camping holiday. 

My love affair with Box Hill North started with my two boys attending here. There’s always been an inviting aspect to our school and I love continuing that as part of the team. Outside of school, I love bike rides with my husband, dinner parties with my friends and family weekends away.

Being a part of the Box Hill North Primary Kindergarten community is something I am most proud of. I enjoy the lightbulb moments in children’s learning and creating a space where each child feels heard, supported and valued. I have a Bachelor of Education (EC), and a Bachelor of Music. Outside of kinder, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and dog. I enjoy singing and playing piano in my spare time.

I am in my 10th year of teaching kindergarten at BHNPS. My favorite part of
my job is developing relationships with children and their families. I enjoy supporting kinder children to discover their identity and how they fit into the world around them and most importantly how to treat others with respect.
Outside of kinder I enjoy being in nature; beach, bush or mountains going on adventures with family and friends. Spending time in my garden, reading and being around animals makes me happy.

I joined Box Hill North Kindergarten in 2015. In my career I’ve taught 4 year old Kinder and Pre-Prep but teaching the 3 year old group is my absolute favourite. I love being part of their learning journey and watching children develop independence, confidence, kindness and curiosity in the world around them. Being part of a wider school community provides a special experience, where everyone belongs. Outside work, I love being creative and making things from fabric, paper or clay as well as spending time with family and friends.

I love our community for its positive, caring and sense of inclusion. There are very strong relationships between staff and families. Outside of school I love spending time with my dog Milo and spending time with friends and family.

It is both wonderful and inspiring to be part of such a positive, nurturing community; surrounded by supportive families, curious and delightful children, and a truly exceptional team of educators. With more than 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I’m passionate about giving 3‑year‑olds the very best start to their kindergarten journey. When I’m not at Kinder, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, getting lost in a good book, or painting on canvas.

I’m grateful to work across all levels at Box Hill North, supporting children with their learning. I’m happy when I see children that I’ve supported smile when they realize that success is all of their own doing. Out of hours, I love walking my two cheeky dogs, Milly and Charlie.

Sharing my love of Japanese language and culture with students is the highlight of my day. I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence and develop skills beyond the Japanese classroom. Our staff are fun and supportive, and I especially love being greeted daily with enthusiastic smiles and a cheerful “Konnichiwa!” from students. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I especially love being by the water, whether having coffee, kayaking, or reading a book.

I joined BHN in 2023 after completing my Master’s degree in Primary and Secondary Education. I am passionate about equipping students with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to advocate for themselves and pursue their passions. In 2025, I was honoured to receive the Victorian Outstanding Early Career Primary Teacher Award in recognition of my work at the school. Outside the classroom, I enjoy all things music and the arts, as well as spending time with my cat, Tuppence.

I feel so fortunate to be part of a school community that feels like home. What I love most about Box Hill North Primary School and Kindergarten is the genuine sense of community, the way staff, students and families work together to support one another and celebrate each child’s growth. It is a joy to come to work each day and be surrounded by curious, kind and enthusiastic learners. Outside of school, I love spending time with my family, travelling and making special memories with loved ones.

I love that Box Hill North PS is a strong and supportive community where staff, students, and families genuinely look out for one another. I am passionate about teaching and love witnessing the joy on students’ faces during those special “aha” moments when learning truly clicks. Outside of school, I enjoy having dinners with my friends, going for walks, and creating special memories through family adventures.

I joined Box Hill North Primary School in 2025, and have loved how welcoming and close of a community it is. I love to see the students working so well together and being happy in the school environment because of the amazing dedicated staff.

Outside of school I love being involved in sports and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I joined the Box Hill North Primary School community back in 2022, and love how supportive, caring and positive everyone is. I’m passionate about creating an engaging, inclusive learning environment where students feel supported to build their confidence and feel safe. Outside of school, I love to read a good book, and spend time with my friends, as well as my dog, Nala.

I joined Box Hill North Primary School in 2024 and have absolutely loved being part of such a supportive, welcoming and fun school community. It is a privilege to work alongside dedicated staff and enthusiastic students each day. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy watching sports and spending quality time with my family and friends. My students also know a few fun facts about me; my favourite animal is the elephant, and I have a definite love for desserts!

I am passionate about creating a positive and engaging classroom environment where students feel safe, supported and encouraged to step outside their comfort zones. Building strong relationships with my students is at the heart of my teaching, and I strive to make learning both meaningful and enjoyable.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, watching horror movies, and relaxing with friends over a friendly gaming session.

I’ve been part of the Box Hill North Primary School family since 2016. I truly love the strong sense of community and the wonderful kids I have the privilege of working with each day. In my spare time, I enjoy going on road trips with my family and coaching basketball, which keeps me active and connected to the sport I love.

I joined the Box Hill North Primary School community in 2022. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive learning environment where students feel confident to do their best while developing the skills they need for a successful transition to high school.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, gaming, boxing, and adding to my Pokémon collection.

I am so grateful I have been given the opportunity to work at Box Hill North Primary this year. I really admire the positive and friendly culture at the school, and how dedicated every staff member is to helping our students. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, playing board games with my friends, and taking my dog to the park.

I am passionate about creating a safe and engaging environment for all students. It is a privilege to watch them grow and develop into well prepared independent, compassionate students. In my spare time I love reading, playing sport, going to the beach and getting away with family and friends.

Sharing my love of Japanese language and culture with students is the highlight of my day. I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence and develop skills beyond the Japanese classroom. Our staff are fun and supportive, and I especially love being greeted daily with enthusiastic smiles and a cheerful “Konnichiwa!” from students.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside such passionate and supportive staff, who make coming to work each day both rewarding and enjoyable.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my family and sharing my passion for dance and musical theatre with my two girls.

I have been working for Box Hill North Primary School for many years and I love its harmonious and positive atmosphere. My job is to help EAL (English as Additional Language) students, assisting them with their English and boosting their confidence, as well as helping them settle into the new environment. In my spare time, my interests include reading, bushwalking and practising Chinese calligraphy.

While I’m new to the art room, I have always loved being creative and sharing that excitement with students. I believe art is one of the most unique and special subjects because no two pieces are ever the same — just like no two artists are the same. Every student brings their own ideas, imagination, and personality into their artwork, and that’s what makes it so amazing. I encourage students to be creative and try new things, celebrate their own unique style and most of all have fun while making art.

I love seeing the joy on students’ faces when they experiment with new materials, mix bold colours, or proudly finish a project. Art is about exploration, creativity, and enjoying the process — not just the final product.

I am very fortunate that my ICT role in the school gives me great pleasure.

When I’m not at work, I’m thinking about my next holiday, renovating my home or learning Spanish.

I have been fortunate to join the Box Hill North team in 2026 and have already felt the warmth and support that defines this wonderful school community. I am truly looking forward to working alongside such passionate staff to continue strengthening high-quality teaching and thoughtful planning, ensuring every student is given the opportunity, space and support to learn, grow and thrive.

It is always a pleasure to work for the children of Box Hill North and share my love of reading in the library. Books open so many doors and seeing kids get lost in their imagination is truly special. Away from school, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and of course, curled up with a good book in hand!

I love welcoming students each morning and being a friendly, familiar face around our school. I visit classrooms to help maintain a calm, positive learning environment for everyone. In my spare time, I head to the beach with Anna and splash in every puddle I can find!

I love being part of such a caring and connected school community. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be able to support our wonderful students with their learning and to watch their confidence grow every day. We all work together to ensure that every student feels safe, supported, valued and included. Outside of school I love spending time with my family, which now includes my adorable grandson ❤️, camping, hiking and cuddling up with my two cats and a good book!

I am so grateful to be part of Box Hill North’s supportive environment. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing a student’s “lightbulb moment” and providing the personalised encouragement they need to flourish. I truly love being a part of their growth and helping them build the confidence to succeed. Outside of school, I love spending quality time with my family, reading a good book, or enjoying a peaceful day at the beach.
