In their own words
I started teaching at Berne in 2006. Prior to that I was a drug and health educator working in primary schools throughout Sydney. I was happy to return to the Marist tradition having previously been a student at St Patrick’s Marist College in Dundas. I find Berne to be one of the most welcoming communities I have ever worked in and enjoy making a difference in the lives of young people. My main teaching subject is PDHPE but I also teach Geography and History. This year I am part of the Years 7 and 8 pastoral care team.
