PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

I consider myself extremely fortunate to be principal of such a unique little school. I have been in education for 34 years with my very first position as a Grade 1 teacher at Araluen Primary

School in Sale. In the 34 years since my graduation I have taught in mainstream schools, directed a Steiner playgroup, run the school at Mt Buller, taught at Dinner Plain Primary School, and worked

in remote communities in the Northern Territory as a teacher and principal. I have come full circle back to East Gippsland to find myself in the little school on the hill since the beginning

of 2018.

My experiences in such varied educational settings, with students from a myriad of backgrounds has brought me to one basic belief – that while reading, writing and the ability to navigate

technology are empowering and necessary tools, happiness and a positive sense of self and belonging are critical for a successful pathway in this ever changing world. At Clifton Creek we

work hard to provide our students with a safe and engaging learning environment, with a structured program that caters to individual learning needs and styles to produce happy, well-rounded learners.
