Meet Our Teachers

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.  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 Kindergarten community is something I am most proud of.  I enjoy being a part of the lightbulb moments in children’s learning and creating a space where each child feels heard and supported. I have a Bachelor of Education (EC), and a Bachelor of Music. Outside of kinder, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, Samantha. I also love to sing and play piano.

I have always had a passion for teaching children and supporting the milestones which provides lifelong skills. I am Bachelor qualified in Primary and Early Childhood Education and have worked throughout a variety of educational services. Through teaching at both the BHN Primary school and Kindergarten, I am able to participate in the whole school community approach which creates strong connections between the kinder and primary school. Outside of work I enjoy reading, catching up with family and friends, going to the footy and cooking!

I love seeing our children make discoveries and gain confidence.  We’re lucky to be part of a school where children can experience a sense of belonging.  Outside hours, you’ll find me busy making things with fabric or paper, reading, going for walks, and spending time with my 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.

I joined Box Hill North Kindergarten in 2023 and love being a part of this positive environment of very lovely and supportive families, adorable children with inquiring minds and a dream team of Educators. I have more than 10 years of experience in this industry and I am pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education to be an even better teacher, which is my passion. Outside of Kinder I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and 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.

The Box Hill North Primary School community is supportive, strong, and connected. I am proud to be commencing my teaching career amongst dedicated and passionate teachers and teaching such caring and inclusive students. Out of hours, I enjoy spending time with family and travelling.

An edible playground, pizza oven, chickens, solar panels, sustainability leaders and being accredited as a 5 star resource school are some of the proud achievements I’ve enjoyed being part of at Box Hill North.  Outside of school, I love to read crime mysteries and anything that includes family and friends.

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.

I love the Japanese language and culture and enjoy sharing my passion with students. The staff are friendly and supportive and my day is filled with children greeting me with a smile and a cheerful konnichiwa!  Outside of school, I appreciate spending time with family, camping, musicals and watching netball.

Our strong and connected community complement our students and staff.  I love teaching EAL students and helping our Chinese parents is really rewarding.  Out of hours, I enjoy spending time with family and my dogs, the arts and bushwalking.  

My journey at Box Hill North started 18 years ago with my four children and becoming involved with the Parents’ Association.  I love being part of a committed team that focuses on every child.   My children still keep me busy and I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

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’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.

Being part of the Box Hill North community is an amazing experience.  Our students are so polite and grateful, friendly and accepting, making it a delight to work with them.  After hours, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking and sewing.
