Mrs Helen Adams BEd (WACAE) GradCertEd(RSA) has been appointed to a full-time position teaching Year 1 in the Preparatory School.

Old Boy Mr Joel Birch BPsych(UWA)GradDipEd(ECU) has been appointed to a full-time teaching position (Year 4) in the Preparatory School. Joel identifies his professional goal as making “a significant contribution to the development and future direction of education as a profession through the demonstration of innovative best practice relevant to 21st century students as learners”.
Of his co-curricular abilities Joel writes: “I am an avid recreational musician and user of music technology, I can hold my own on a tennis court, and I’m an ambitious DIY handyman. He speaks French and is a self-confessed “one-eyed Mac user”. This year he was on the organisational committee for Apple’s Asia-Pacific Innovative Technology in Schools Conference.
