Victoria is a dynamic and approachable educational leader, navigating the complexities of education with zest! With a strong belief in unleashing the potential of every individual, she dedicates herself to recognizing and celebrating the unique skills, talents and achievements of those she leads.
Currently serving as Principal, she spearheads a team of devoted educators spanning Early Years to Year 10 in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide. In her prior position as Head of Wellbeing for a Senior School with over 600 students Victoria led a team of counsellors, youth workers, and support staff, fostering engagement among students with complex backgrounds and enabling them to thrive academically, achieve success in their vocational programs and flourish in their personal lives – before, during and after COVID!
With a rich 25-year teaching background spanning Australia and the UK, Victoria is committed to championing positive psychology and pastoral care. Her approach involves creating a healthy strengths based connected school environment through the implementation of restorative practices, robust mental health support, high standards and engaging real-world curriculum content.
Beyond the school gates, Victoria dedicates her “spare time” to Make-A-Wish Australia as a Volunteer in her local Barossa Valley Branch. She is also proud to be a past National Board Member for the charity.
