OUR STAFF

It is a privilege to lead West Beach Primary School and be part of such a welcoming and connected community. I want our school to be a place where children and families feel a genuine sense of belonging, where people know one another and where the strengths, knowledge and experiences of our community help shape school life.

My leadership background is grounded in inclusion and literacy. I am committed to identifying and reducing barriers to learning and working with our staff and families to help every student reach their fullest potential. I hold high expectations for teaching and learning while recognising that children learn in different ways and may require different levels of support and challenge.

I lead by listening, asking questions and working alongside students, staff, families and community partners to find practical ways forward. I believe the strongest decisions are made when we welcome different perspectives and take shared responsibility for helping our children thrive.

My door is always open. Please come and introduce yourself or speak with me at any time – whether you have something positive to share, an idea, a question or need support. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Now in my second year at West Beach Primary School it’s lovely to be within such a warm, welcoming and connected community. From the moment families join our school, I want them to feel a genuine sense of belonging and to know that they are valued members of our community.

As Deputy Principal, I feel very fortunate to work closely with our students, staff and families each day. My role is to support our teachers, help ensure our students feel safe and happy, and contribute to a school environment where every child can learn, grow and enjoy being part of school life. Whether I am in classrooms, helping with timetables, or out in the yard at recess and lunchtime, I enjoy being alongside our students and sharing in the everyday moments that make school such a special place.

I believe strong relationships are at the heart of a thriving school. By listening, working together and looking out for one another, we can create an environment where children feel confident, supported and ready to do their best. I am passionate about helping every student feel known, cared for and encouraged to reach their potential.

I warmly welcome families to come and say hello, ask a question, share an idea or seek support at any time. I look forward to getting to know you and your family and to working together as part of the West Beach Primary community.

As Wellbeing Leader at West Beach Primary School, I lead Student Wellbeing and Inclusion across our site, working each day to ensure that every child feels safe, valued, included and connected.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Primary and Middle Education and ongoing professional learning in inclusion, wellbeing and Positive Psychology, I bring both experience and a genuine passion for helping children thrive.

My approach is proactive and preventative, focusing on building strong wellbeing foundations so students feel supported early, consistently and with care.

My role is wide-ranging and always centred on students. I lead student voice and leadership opportunities, support positive behaviour and restorative practices, and provide individual and small-group wellbeing support. I also work closely with teachers to embed inclusive strategies and personalised adjustments into everyday classroom practice, ensuring all learners can access and engage in their learning.

When needed, I coordinate connections with external agencies to provide additional support for students and families. Beyond the classroom, I run playtime activities and connection opportunities, helping students build friendships, develop social skills, grow confidence and feel a strong sense of belonging within our school community.

Building strong, trusting partnerships with families is central to my work. My door is always open for a conversation or support—I look forward to working together to help every child thrive socially, emotionally, and academically at West Beach Primary School!

Born and bred in Adelaide, love sport (especially footy, cricket, tennis and basketball) and enjoy reading, walking, comedy shows, movies, travelling and spending time with my family. My favourite shops are Dymocks and Haigh’s Chocolates!

I am married to Andrew and a mother of three children. We love living in West Beach and being a part of the community here. I have been involved at WBPS as a parent and volunteer for the last 5 years.

For over 20 years I have worked in many ways with children and families including playgroups, Kids Clubs and various children’s programs. I have been employed as a Pastor for the last 10 years and am passionate about helping children and families to grow and thrive.

I look forward to meeting you and serving the school community in my role as your Pastoral Care Worker.

We are proud to have Kath Moore as our Aboriginal Community Education Officer (ACEO), playing an important role in supporting our Aboriginal students and families, helping to strengthen the connection between home, school and community.

She works closely with students, families and teachers to support regular attendance, monitor student progress and contribute to individual learning plans.

Kath also helps build cultural awareness and understanding across our school, while providing families with information, support and opportunities to become actively involved in school life and decision-making.

Her role helps ensure Aboriginal students and families feel supported, connected and valued within our school community.

Rhiannon and Liana are the friendly faces that welcome students, families and visitors to our school each day.

As our wonderful administration team, they’re always ready to help with a smile, answer questions and make sure everyone feels welcome and supported from the moment they walk through the door.
