It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Claremont College.

With a proud history spanning more than 140 years, we are a highly regarded co-educational primary school committed to academic excellence, wellbeing, Christian values and the development of the whole child. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and our dedicated teachers work closely with families to create a happy, safe and nurturing environment where every child is known, supported and challenged to reach their potential. Beyond our strong academic outcomes, Claremont is a warm and connected community built on collaboration, innovation, compassion and genuine care. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our community.

I teach because there is a deep joy in witnessing a child understand something for the first time, achieve what they never thought possible, and discover their potential to make a positive impact on the world.

With a deep passion for learning, I strive to ignite a sense of wonder in every child, empowering them to become capable, resilient learners who embrace knowledge and exploration throughout their lives.

I know choosing a school for your child is a big decision. I love being part of that journey with families and then having the privilege of watching their child grow in confidence and thrive.

I lead because every child deserves to be seen and to thrive, whoever they are and however they experience the world. This conviction inspires everything I do.

Teaching is deeply rewarding because I have the privilege of watching children discover their strengths, embrace challenges, grow in confidence, and begin to believe in what they can achieve.

“One thing I love about Claremont is how we prepare our Year 6 students for high school. Through our High School Transition Program and High School Experience Week, they grow in confidence and independence, ready for their next exciting chapter!”

“I love creating the conditions for curious minds to question, explore, take intellectual risks and discover what they are capable of. For me, gifted education is about more than extending learning; it is about truly knowing each child, recognising their unique strengths and needs, and ensuring they feel both challenged and understood. When we nurture curiosity and make space for deep thinking, we help every learner realise their potential.”
