Our staff

It is a privilege to lead this exceptional school. Since my arrival at Corrimal Public School in 2024, I have been inspired by the warmth and welcoming nature of our students, staff, and community. My journey here feels destined, beginning with my transition from Radiography to teaching—the profession I have always aspired to pursue. After graduating from the University of Sydney, I was selected as a targeted graduate at Austinmer Public School. My time there was immensely rewarding, and I might have stayed indefinitely had it not been for a Principal who encouraged me to pursue further leadership opportunities. Following my role as Assistant Principal at Austinmer, I served as Assistant Principal at Woonona Public School and later as Relieving Deputy Principal. This experience led me to apply for the Relieving Principal position at Corrimal, where I have enjoyed getting to know our remarkable students, dedicated staff, and passionate community. I look forward to fostering a culture where everyone feels they belong and can achieve their goals.

In my spare time, I cherish moments with my three children and my twin sister—yes, we often get mistaken for one another! My daughter Stella studies Law and Business at the University of Wollongong, my daughter Annabelle is in Year 12, and my son Max is in Year 7. Together, we love walking our dogs and exploring the outdoors. Thank you for welcoming me into this vibrant community. I am excited about the journey ahead!

It’s a pleasure to introduce myself to you all as part of this amazing school. My name is Mrs Moore, and I’m excited to be here! Building strong relationships with my students and their families is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that when we work together, support each other, and hold high expectations, great things happen.

Mathematics is one of my passions, and I truly want every student to feel confident and believe in themselves. It’s important to me that we all know success is possible, and I’m here to support my students every step of the way.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my husband, our two big boys, and friends. Those moments are precious to me, and they remind me of the importance of community and connection.

I’m really looking forward to the future of our school and working together to make Corrimal Public School an even better place for everyone to learn and grow.

Hey everyone! I’m Amanda Thompson and I have the privilege of teaching and leading within our wonderful Corrimal community at CPS. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to experience many memorable teaching and leadership experiences across a range of networks in Campbelltown, Sydney and Wollongong. I believe in creating fun, engaging and nurturing learning environments, where every student is known, valued and cared for, is supported to make growth in literacy and numeracy and is provided with opportunities to succeed in areas of interest. I share my passion for music, art, reading and travel, alongside my two beautiful children, family and friends.

Hi everyone! My name is Briarna Faulks, and I am excited to be teaching Kindergarten this year. I have been a part of the Corrimal community for several years and truly appreciate the wonderful environment we have here. Since 2023, I have also served as the K-2 Assistant Principal, focusing on helping your child develop a love for learning and enthusiasm for coming to school. I welcome any discussions on how I can best support your child’s educational journey. The highlight of my day is seeing their smiles when they grasp new concepts. In our classroom, we learn together, forge new friendships, and, most importantly, have fun. I am passionate about teaching and committed to nurturing the unique personalities of my students, as I believe they thrive in an environment where they feel recognised, valued, and supported.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, exercising and going for walks with my two dogs Stella and Coco.

Hi everybody! My name is Mrs Argaet formally known as Miss Marks and I have had the pleasure of teaching at Corrimal Public School and being part of the community for the last 10 years! I started out my journey at Corrimal as a casual teacher, then became an RFF teacher, then had my first class a beautiful 1/2 and then gained permanency at the school. I have been so lucky to have also been a Relieving Assistant Principal over the last 3 years also. I pride myself on knowing each and every student's name in the school and a little fun fact about them! Corrimal Public School is a very special place and when I am not here I am gardening with my husband, going to the beach or enjoying time with my friends! I am about to go on Maternity Leave for a year and am going to miss CPS so much but, I will be back in 2026!

Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome to Corrimal Public School. I have lived in the area my whole life and went to school locally. I obtained my teaching degree with Distinction at the University of Wollongong. On completion I was a targeted graduate and obtained my permanent position at Thomas Acres Public School in Ambarvale. This is where my teaching journey began, and where I learnt the importance of trust and positive relationships. I believe in teaching the “whole child” understanding wellbeing, and the interconnectedness of the social, emotional and cognitive development in children. I believe in creating a warm, nurturing classroom environment where children feel loved, valued and safe to take risks in their learning. Having a growth mindset is at the forefront of my teaching. I have spent the past 17 years teaching at Thomas Acres P.S. across K-6, which I loved! It has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. 

I have enjoyed the sea change to Corrimal, working closer to home, my family and my young children, Charlotte and Benji. I am so excited to see what the future holds for me at Corrimal Public School and feel so lucky to be a permanent member of staff here. 

When not at school I enjoy time with my husband and children, the beach, boating and holidays in our caravan. I love dance and enjoy ladies physie - I am a proud member of the Wollongong City Physie Club. 

Hi, I’m Heath Piper, Kindergarten teacher at Corrimal Public School. I love making our classroom a fun and creative place where we learn through stories, songs, and art. I bring my background in storytelling and creative media into our daily adventures so we can explore the world in a joyful, hands-on way. Every day is a new adventure, and I’m excited to share it with you as we learn, play, and grow together.

My teaching journey has taken me from the mid north coast of Kempsey, to working as a ward teacher at Westmead Children’s Hospital, and more recently as a well-being and Intensive English Centre teacher here in the Illawarra. These experiences have shaped my approach to nurturing young minds and fostering a love of learning.

Hi everyone! My name is Miss Fitzgerald, but I am known as Miss Fitz to our wonderful students. Corrimal Public School holds a special place in my heart, as I have learnt and grown alongside our students, starting my career as a newly graduated teacher at CPS in 2022 in an RFF role. I have been lucky to continue teaching and working with our beautiful community and students ever since. I aim to foster a safe and secure environment for all students to learn, grow and, most importantly, be themselves. I feel so blessed to come to work every day and witness the magic that happens within the classroom as students learn to believe in themselves.

Some of my favourite lessons to teach are those inspired by the students themselves, exploring their special areas of interest or finding the answer to a query they have raised. Helping to inspire a love of learning is always my goal!

When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me reading, going to the beach, attending concerts, or staying active. I'm always on the move!

Hi all! My name is Miss Scheidl and I have been lucky enough to work at CPS for 2 years as the tech teacher and now finally on class! I love building a positive classroom culture within my classroom and ensuring everyone feels a sense of belonging at our school. We all grow at different rates, we need to find what makes us thrive in order for us to bloom. 

Outside of school I follow my own 2 children around to their Leaguetag, Oztag and Rugby League events. I love music and a good sing along, if you ask our students they’ll tell you I also love to sing learning parodies too ;-).

Hello! I am known as Miss Thompson to the wonderful students at Corrimal Public School. My journey with CPS began during my early university years when I was fortunate to complete one of my mandatory teaching placements here—and I never truly left! Since then, I have been working at the school on a casual basis, and this year, I am thrilled to have my own Year 3/4 class! I firmly believe that when students enjoy their learning experiences, they become more engaged, active participants, allowing a deeper understanding and retention of knowledge. I am passionate about fostering meaningful connections with our incredible students and creating a positive, supportive learning environment. I look forward to continuing my journey at CPS and contributing to this wonderful school community.

Hi everyone, my name is Jane Boyd and I have been enjoying my teaching career for many years. I have worked extensively throughout NSW and the Northern Territory, experiencing many lovely students and communities. I have been at Corrimal for the past five years and love our supportive and energetic students, staff and community. You will often find me in the school garden or hanging out at Breakfast Club. When I’m not at school, I like to spend time with my gorgeous family and friends. You will also find me in the garden at home or in the sewing room playing with fabric.

Hi friends, my name is Mrs. Napper. I have had many fun jobs working with children over my years including working as an outdoor education camp leader, taking groups of students camping and doing extreme obstacles. Working as a kids club leader onboard a huge cruise ship sailing the Pacific Ocean and most recently working with children with disabilities to be physically active. However, I feel so fortunate to have been part of the Corrimal PS community since 2009. In this time, I have enjoyed teaching all grades Kindergarten to Year 6, working as a learning support teacher and covering RFF as a sports and creative arts teacher. I feel very lucky to come to school every day to work with all the amazing kids at Corrimal. My passion lies in connecting with students, sharing stories and encouraging young minds to think outside the square, sparking curiosity and a love of learning. When I am not at school, I love going on camping adventures and spending time in the outdoors with my family. Our school is great, and I look forward to what the future holds for Corrimal Public School.

“Eyes and ears, everyone!” :) I’m Mr Connor and I am an extremely proud and privileged member of the wonderful staff at CPS. Experienced in a diverse and exciting range of school roles, responsibilities and environments, I am a passionate advocate for student-centred, solutions-focused pathways that stem from high-quality learning and high expectations of success. I find joy and purpose through music, nature, sport, reading and my 3 incredible children. Life is all about embracing opportunities and challenges, so let’s work together to make the most out of each and every day! 

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer Holland and I have had the privilege of being a classroom teacher at CPS for 14 years. During this time I have engaged little minds and developed a sense of knowledge and curiosity about our world and beyond. It is wonderful to see students grow and attain success and pride in their achievements especially in literacy and numeracy activities

I have previously taught in far western NSW schools in Distance Education and at a SSP (School for Specific Purposes) for students with special needs.This teaching opportunity was extremely rewarding, developing and encouraging life skills of teenage students by learning how to live successfully in the community. I also taught at a remote school on the Murray River and in the Central West of NSW before being transferred to Corrimal PS.

Everybody knows that I am a History and Geography buff and I especially enjoy teaching these subjects to my students and discover their sense of enthusiasm to discover even more by exploring and being ever curious about our world.

In my spare time I am usually reading endlessly on various topics and beachcombing by walking along our magnificent beaches. I also have a great love of music and enjoy playing several instruments in orchestras and singing in choirs.

Hello, Corrimal Public School community! My name is Jackie Everson, and I have been passionate about teaching since 1989. After moving to Wollongong and raising my three wonderful children, I returned to the classroom at Corrimal Public School. For the past six years, I have had the privilege of serving as the Learning and Support teacher, but my journey here has allowed me to teach across all grades in various capacities. I truly believe that CPS is a fantastic place to work, filled with dedicated staff, amazing students, and supportive families. I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in our school community!

Hi everybody, Mr Stone here, the tallest teacher you will most likely meet. I have been teaching for approximately 15 years and have experience teaching all over London, Sydney and now Corrimal. I have been here for 2 years and absolutely love the connection that I am building with the students and the community. I have been blessed to be teaching Kindergarten and now I am really enjoying my new role as the technology teacher. It means I get to meet and know every single student in the school.

Outside of school, you will find me spending time with my partner and two young children. We love to travel the world, meet new people, learn about different cultures and see amazing places.

I enjoy following sports and am always keeping an eye on my favourite English Premier League team, Tottenham Hotspur, as well as the national English soccer, cricket and rugby teams.

When I’m not travelling or watching sport I am most likely running. I am passionate about long distance running and have set myself a few crazy challenges…the next one being 100k in the Blue Mountains!

I've had the pleasure of working at Corrimal Public School for the past 7 years, taking on various roles along the way. I started in the school office and later transitioned into SLSO work within our classrooms as well. This has provided a wonderful opportunity to get to know all of our students so well and it has been an absolute privilege to watch them all grow over the years! Currently, I'm relieving as the School Administration Manager while Mrs. Griffiths is on leave, and I'm enjoying the opportunity to learn and grow in this new role. Outside of work, I love spending time at the beach, going on bushwalks, reading, and traveling with my family. You might also catch me in the playground, camera in hand, capturing all the great events and smiles of our students at CPS!

I have had the privilege of working as the School Administration Officer at Corrimal Public School for the past 8 years. During this time, I’ve developed a deep connection with the school community, playing an integral role in supporting both the students and staff. You’ll often find me in the office, where I manage the sick bay, answer phone calls, and assist with a variety of administrative tasks. I take great pride in being a helpful and approachable presence, always ready to assist students and their families with any needs they may have.

Outside of school, I am passionate about traveling, exploring new places, and immersing myself in different cultures. I also enjoy walking, which allows me to unwind and stay active. Most importantly, I cherish spending quality time with my family, creating lasting memories together.

Hey everyone! I’m ‘Miss Lauren’ a school Learning Support Officer here at Corrimal Public School. I’ve been blessed to be part of the CPS community for nearly 2 years – I won’t lie it does feel like I have been here a lot longer, which I LOVE! I pride myself on being a role model for the children, helping to guide them throughout their learning years.

I’ve been living in Wollongong for almost 5 years now. I’m originally from a country town called Junee. Some of you may have heard of the Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory it is a big tourist attraction there, filled with lots of delicious treats.

Outside of school I enjoy going to the beach, sunrise walks, gym, socialising with friends and going back home to visit my family.

Hey team! Im ‘Ms Alison’ Im a School Learning Support Officer. I’ve been lucky enough to call CPS home for the past 5 years. Born and raised locally, I went to school with many CPS parents, carers and relatives—talk about full-circle moments! I absolutely LOVE the school, the staff, and the amazing students and community that makes every day at work so rewarding. There’s never a dull moment, and I’m always wearing a big smile, ready for a good chat and laugh with anyone who crosses my path!

When I’m not at school, you’ll find me out on the water with my husband Scott, our two kiddos—Max and Layla—and our cutie pie puppy, Sunni. We’re a travel-loving family that’s explored every corner of Australia, always on the lookout for new adventures.

When I’m not boating or traveling, I’m either patrolling as a Surf Lifesaver up and down the Illawarra coastline or officiating weddings as a Marriage Celebrant. There’s never a quiet moment in my world, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
