Meet The Teachers

I feel extremely lucky to work alongside the wonderful students, staff and parents of TVPS. My classroom promotes a positive and supportive environment where children are encouraged to take risks and develop a lifelong love of learning.

When I’m not at school, I love spending time with family and friends.

I enjoy working with the wonderful students and community at TVPS. I love making the classroom a fun place and building positive, warm and nurturing relationships with my students. Outside of school I enjoy travelling, spending time with friends and family, going to the beach, roller skating and dancing.

I love working at Templestowe Valley because of the close knit community and the fun I have at work each day. I love incorporating technology where I can and supporting students to be real-life problem solvers. When I’m not at school, I’m usually out for a coffee with girlfriends and family.

I am passionate about teaching and learning and thoroughly enjoy working alongside our keen and dedicated teachers to continually develop their pedagogy and in turn improve student learning outcomes. Our T.V.P.S. students are highly enthusiastic and motivated to learn which makes every day a rewarding experience!

I love watching student’s develop a growth mindset. Over a year students can achieve so much and become so confident in their own abilities. This brings a big smile to my face.
I love reading, baking and shopping.

As the Visual Arts Teacher, I feel like i have a very privileged position. I get to teach the students Visual Arts, together with doing what I love every day. Each day is different and the students never cease to amaze me with their creativity and ingenuity.
