WELCOME TO OUR NEW STAFF

DSCF8072_Small_.JPG

Hello! I am very excited to be joining the Leadership team at GHS as Middle School Coordinator for 2021. I have spent the past three years in a Wellbeing and Learning Support role at Booleroo Centre DS and teaching from Years 2 to 12. I really enjoyed working in an R-12 school and feel that this has given me a great perspective on transition from Primary to High School – which will be very helpful this year as I work closely with our local primary schools not only for Year 8 transition but also Year 7s into High School.

My background includes some time in Roxby Downs, Whyalla and Port Pirie – teaching Middle School and as a leader in Special/Inclusive Education. I live locally and my four children attend Gladstone Kindergarten, Primary and High School as well as being involved in committees and sporting clubs.

At GHS my role will include overseeing NAPLAN and PAT, Three-way Learning Conferences and supporting Middle School students, families and teachers. I value regular positive communication with families so if you have any questions or concerns please get in touch through the school. I’m looking forward to getting to know your children over the coming weeks – especially the Year 8s in preparation for their Aquatics Camp in Week 5!

Hi my name is Ben HussellDSCF8070_Small_.JPG

I am excited to be at Gladstone High School this year. I was teaching Music and HASS at Peterborough High School for the last two years, and before that taught a mix of Music, Art and Photography  in Broken Hill for just over two years. 

My interests are playing in bands, powerlifting and strength sports, military history and motorcycles; riding and restoring (on my first project bike at the moment!). I grew up on a small hobby farm in NSW where we had Murray greys and crops, and other relatives had a superfine merino stud. I am pursuing a Masters degree outside of work.

DSCF8075_Small_.JPGHi, I'm very excited to be working at GHS this year and I look forward to getting to know all of the students and their families while I am here.  Working in schools is new for me as I have spent the past 5 years working at HB Rural at Warnertown, my role there was administration and finance, but I am not new to GHS as I was a student here and have many memories. 

Crystal Brook is my home town and I have 3 children who are all sports mad. So we spend a lot of our time at Hockey, Footy, Basketball, Tennis or Cricket! I also am a Councillor on the Port Pirie Regional Council, this is my first term so it sure has kept me very busy in my spare time!

I will be at the school Monday's, Wednesday's & Friday's, so please pop your head into the office and introduce yourself to me or just come to say hi.

I live in the small community of Whyte Yarcowie to the East of Jamestown, in the Old School House which my wife and I renovated and converted into a home in 2010. I have three kids, Michael, who lives and works in Adelaide, Georgia who is attending University, and Elsa who is at school in Jamestown. Living in the Flinders Region gives me the opportunity to enjoy riding and working on off road motorcycles, which I do at every opportunity. I have a fleet of KTM bikes and a particular passion for Rally and Adventure riding. If you have a class with me you will be hearing all about it.

Having been a builder for many years I completed my Graduate Diploma in Teaching in 2014 and started working with the School of the Air as an Itinerant teacher, which was an amazing experience, travelling around the state to assist remote families with their home schooling. I then moved on to Booleroo Centre school to teach Design and Technology, and at Peterborough High in Digital Technology, Science and Tech. I have a passion for carpentry and wood working which I inherited from my Grandfather and am incredibly excited to have an opportunity to teach Tech here at GHS.

Hi, my name is Susie. I am so excited about my new job as Canteen Manager at your lovely school.

For the past 8 years my husband and i have run Koffi'n'Kandi Cafe in Laura.  We have formed wonderful relationships with people in the Mid North and are looking forward to that continuing with new ones as well.

I am hoping to bring forward some new ideas to the canteen, which i hope will entice you.  I also encourage you all to give me feedback and any ideas you may have (I love new recipes!)  

I am looking forward to meeting you all.

                                        Cheers Susie
