Kate 

Kate decided she wanted to be a kindergarten teacher when she was in High School but then decided to become a Primary School teacher. She has taught in a variety of schools, both in the UK and Australia, teaching the prep - two year levels. However, since working at Princes Hill, Kate has loved the extra challenge and joys of working with the grade five and six students. Outside of school, Kate enjoys pottery, reading, going to the movies, dining out with friends and going camping.

Warrick

Warrick has taught in both Australia and Taiwan.  After completing a Bachelor of Biological Science in 2000 he enjoyed time travelling through South America, Asia and Europe.  After living in Taiwan for two years he returned to Melbourne and completed a Diploma of Primary Education in 2007. The development of literacy is an area of ongoing interest.  Warrick enjoys cycling to work, spending time outdoors with his wife and son and improving his Mandarin.  

Jeff

Jeff has had an interesting journey on his way to joining the 5/6 neighbourhood at Princes Hill Primary. He lived and worked in Europe for many years as a musician. Then he travelled extensively, teaching Tai Chi, before returning home to Australia where he studied and then practised Chinese Medicine. To enable his transformation into a school teacher, Jeff completed a Master of Teaching at Monash University. He lives with his lovely wife, Lauren and their three kids.

Sarah

Sarah graduated from Deakin University with a Bachelor of Education (Primary), specialising in Physical Education in 2015. She has always wanted to be a Primary School teacher as it runs in the family with her sister being a teacher as well. Sarah is excited to be joining the 5/6 neighbourhood at Princes Hill Primary School after being heavily involved with a grade six class in 2015. In Sarah’s spare time, she likes to spend time at the beach with her family, play sports such as basketball and netball and see friends on the weekend.
