Staff Testimonial

Tamara - Teacher

“I began my teaching career at Marist after completing my final placement in 2019.

I was immediately drawn to the warm nature of the school, which has been developed through the words and actions of the staff and students. This supportive environment has provided me with a safe and nurturing space to develop both personally and professionally and has continued to ignite my passion for teaching.

I have been afforded the opportunity of teaching across Years 7-12 and have been involved in a range of co-curricular activities. This has allowed me to build relationships with a large part of the school community, and to witness the Marist spirit in action. Watching the students proudly display the Marist crest and colours creates a sense of belonging that far extends beyond their time in the classroom. Observing a Marist education in action through faith, love, justice, compassion and hospitality has been a privilege, and one I look forward to continuing to experience each day I come to work.”
