Ms Flux is a hardworking and dedicated teach who always sees the best in each of her students and helps them reach that full potential not matter how much we doubt ourselves.

Miss Sexton

Miss Sexton notified myself and my husband via email about how hard our daughter was working in maths and how much effort she was putting in. It is lovely to receive positive feedback as well as the not so positive feedback. It made our day and encouraged our daughter to keep up her efforts.

Courtney Daniec

A Massive THANK YOU Ms Daniec for all your support this term! You continue to support, care & navigate our daughter through rocky roads. We are very grateful.

Helping students struggling in mathematics believe in themselves through various strategies and approaches; making modifications through out the term, displaying enormous commitment to the students she teaches. This includes showing up and being enthusiastically available every afternoon to the academic mentoring. She inspires and encourages students to enjoy maths and science and most importantly, believe in their own capabilities. What an outstanding teacher!

I hear the best grade 9 English Teacher, but the amount of hours you apply to our school community is massive! The distance you travel to come to school astounds me. Also thank you for listening to us in our time of need. We are grateful you are apart of our school community. Thank you

Trish Scherer

Trish Scherer has been such a guiding light for our daughter in navigating the new system, new school and new language! She exemplifies everything a teacher should be. She is helpful, kind, funny and our daughter adores her. Trish is very mindful of the challenges we face and always keeps us updated and is quick to respond to any question we might have.

A friendly face at the front desk, nothing is ever too much trouble, and forever helping my daughter keep it together.

Endless encouragement, guidance and support to my daughter in her first months of Mt A. Nothing is ever too hard and takes the time to explain answers to questions.

Ms Arenas has been my daughter’s teacher for the last two years. Most recently during her exam/assessment time, Ms Arenas gave her much needed guidance, support and understanding.

She has been on top of everything, answering all parents and children questions, solving issues with a reassuring and positive attitude always accompanied by a contagious smile.
