Meet the Teachers

At Billanook, we value community involvement in the education of our children. Our school has a wonderful community feel, that continues to be developed and nurtured under the premise that, ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ Our warm and welcoming atmosphere is often commented upon. We encourage and enjoy family participation in all areas of school life to develop a true partnership in learning.

Billanook is a wonderful place to learn and grow. I enjoy working with parents and students in our community in diverse ways. In my role as a Teaching and Learning Leader, I work with our leadership team to develop curriculum and assessment to best meet the needs of our students. I love that I get to work with teachers and students across the school.

Working at Billanook Primary School is incredibly rewarding. I love being a part of the school community at BPS, as everyone is so welcoming and kind. In my role as Assistant Principal, Disability Inclusion Leader, I am lucky enough to work with a wide range of students over a variety of academic and social/emotional areas of the curriculum. I also support teachers to help create nurturing and inclusive learning environments for all of our students.

Billanook Primary School is a welcoming environment for staff, students and families. The students are all gorgeous and I love being a part of the Billanook School Community.

I have worked at Billanook for many years. I absolutely love this school. My own child came here as a student and I have worked here ever since. I feel very lucky to work up in the front office and deal with such lovely students and parents every day!

I am new to Billanook Primary School and have joined the admin team in the front office. The students, staff & families have already made me feel welcome and I look forward to being part of such a wonderful community environment here at Billanook.

I have been involved with Billanook for many years. My own 2 children came here as students and I have always loved the school. I was lucky enough to start working here when the school needed a First Aid officer. I get to see most students at some time during the year, so I am fortunate to help them at times when they hurt themselves or perhaps feel unwell. I work in the office with the lovely office staff also. All the staff and students make this place a wonderful community to be a part of.

I am thrilled to be a part of the of the Billanook community. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to interact with so many different year-levels in my capacity as a roaming teacher. Getting to know students and finding how I can best support their learning journey brings me tremendous joy. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and am a passionate trail-runner.

I am very proud to be part of the Billanook community. It’s a privilege to work in a school where staff strive to promote an environment of Kindness, Respect, Aspiration and Grit.

I take pride in the enjoyment of seeing my students learn, thrive and make positive connections to their school community and peers. I believe trusting relationships play a key part in learning and I am committed to making my classroom a happy and inclusive environment. 

I have been privileged enough to work at Billanook Primary School since 2006. I love everything about working here, it’s like my second home. I am always proud to tell people I work at Billanook Primary School, and found the decision to send my daughters to school here very easy.

I am very fortunate to be teaching Foundation at Billanook Primary School. As such an important and special year of education, it is my aim to create a learning environment which is welcoming, supportive, and exciting.

It is such a privilege to be part of the warm, inviting and dynamic community that is Billanook Primary School. Teaching is a passion of mine and I love watching the growth my students make across a year; fostering their love of learning and modelling the ability to ‘bounce back’ when something is challenging or doesn’t go to plan. When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll find me enjoying a coffee, at the beach with my dog or playing footy!

Teaching is my passion. I love seeing the smile on children’s faces when they learn something new and the achievement the older students feel when they have accomplished their learning goals. I relish the opportunity to implement education programs that challenge students to step outside their comfort zone and achieve success. At home I love spending time with my family.

The Billanook community is a great place to be! Students, staff and families all work together to support the child’s learning both academically and socially/emotionally.

Teaching is a great passion of mine and something I wouldn’t change. I enjoy journeying alongside each student, in the year I have with them, and assisting them to be the best person they can be. My role is to help students think critically, be creative, solve problems, take risks in their learning, and help them to expand their mind and grow as individuals.

Each day is full of excitement in the art room, a place where students explore a range of art styles and materials, developing new techniques and skills. It’s a privilege to share the creative journeys of so many students at Billanook and help them create artworks that they’re so proud of. I’m incredibly lucky to be part of this school and its amazing specialist programs!

Teaching Performing Arts at Billanook is simply fantastic. Its wonderful to see the kids having fun and gaining confidence as we explore Music, Dance, and Drama.

The kitchen garden program for our L3 and 4 students offers our students the opportunity to grow, harvest and cook their own produce. The most wonderful part of our program is our wider community volunteering their time, sharing knowledge of gardening and recipes from around the world. We are very lucky at Billanook to have such an amazing kitchen to cook in and a garden that is being developed to offer everyone at Billanook a space for bushfoods, native flora for insects and our vegetable gardens. I am very lucky to be running such an fantastic program for students.

As the student wellbeing leader at Billanook Primary School I am committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for all students.

Through a whole school Values approach, Fortnightly Wellbeing Assemblies and dedicated Respectful Relationship sessions we ensure student wellbeing remains at the forefront of all that we do. Our school acknowledges that a positive school culture helps to engage students and support them in their learning, as student wellbeing and student learning outcomes are closely linked.
