The Commitment to Staff Development Award Linda Herbert
It is a position with many moving parts and involves looking at education through a different lens. One of my main responsibilities is overseeing the process of teacher accreditation, supporting teachers to gather their evidence and acting as a sounding board for their collection of work. I liaise with universities to attract top graduates for our internship program and look after the teaching students who join us for practicum placements, as well as support School recruitment as a whole, especially through our induction processes.

Nicole and I maintain an open-door policy and invite staff to use us as a resource, as they brainstorm ways to explore different avenues of leadership and career paths. With a recently completed Graduate Diploma in Counselling and years of experience as a Year Coordinator, I feel well-equipped and excited about my new role. I am fortunate to continue dedicating time to one of my initial passions - teaching. My diverse range of classes consists of Year 12 Design and Technology, Year 9 Food Technology, and Year 8 Technology, which is a truly enjoyable mix.
