Ruth Faulkner
Teaching Principal
Eyre Team (Year 4 - 8)
Monday - Thursday afternoons; all day Friday.
With years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of working in various roles that have shaped my passion for inclusive and supportive learning. As a Classroom Teacher with a Post Graduate Diploma in Specialist Teaching, I enjoy connecting with students, adapting my approach to suit their needs and learning styles. My journey as a Principal has been especially rewarding, guiding rural schools where a sense of community is strong, and staff work tirelessly to meet the needs of every student. Rural schools are a special place, where collaboration between dedicated educators and families ensures a nurturing environment for all learners to succeed.
