I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to our new families. I am the Principal of St Mary's Primary School and I love my job. This is my sixth year as Principal. Prior to that, I held the Assistant Principal role and classroom teaching positions.

I have a Bachelor in Teaching (Primary), Master of Religious Education and Graduate Certificate in Information and Communication Technology in Education. 

I have been blessed to be part of the St Mary's School Community, off and on, for twenty-six years. Over my child-raising years, I taught in a part-time and casual capacity at both St Mary's and St Joseph's in Goulburn.

My passion lies in inclusive education. I believe that all children deserve equal opportunities to succeed as learners. I also enjoy examining evidence-based practice and learning about high impact teaching strategies. I feel blessed to be part of a strong team that embraces new learning and strives for exemplary practice.

I have four children, aged sixteen, seventeen, nineteen and twenty-one, and I live on a sheep and cattle farm just outside of Crookwell. Currently, my hobbies include travel, pottery, silversmithing and waterskiing.

This is my favourite education cartoon, it demonstrates what I mean when I talk about inclusive education. 

Please know that my door is always open. It is important that we work as a team to achieve the best educational outcomes for our students.
