provide the best possible way of sharing our strong values and educational philosophy. A philosophy that places kindness, generosity and care at the core of what we are doing. Caring not only for the environment, but for each other and the wider community that we serve. 

Educated in Belgium, Finland and New Zealand, and with a teaching background in a Chilean independent school, I am a lifelong learner and passionate educator that feels both honoured and humbled to be part of the vibrant team that is bringing this inspiring and much-needed project to life. Experience both in the classroom and on the sports field has taught me that a child who is happy, confident and has a strong sense of belonging will learn and thrive. With this in mind, as a teacher and leader, my students’ safety, physical and emotional well-being and happiness will always be at the forefront of my decision making. 

I am also very aware that our teachers’ well-being, needs and professional development will be an absolutely pivotal part of our success and I intend to ensure that our staff are fully supported, appreciated, listened to and receive the best of the best. This is a brand new venture and we are all in it together, we have a long way to go and mistakes will be made, but as we constantly teach our children,  it is only through these mistakes that we will learn and grow.  Our parents are also an essential part of our project and I would like to take this moment to let them know that I am there for them too. My door is always open, so if you have any ideas, thoughts or questions about how we can make Humboldt an even better experience and place for your children then please come and see me. 

My enthusiasm, dedication to and love for Humboldt and the beautiful future I see ahead knows no bounds. I am confident that, together as a community, we are headed in the right direction. As a team, we will strive to give our students the skills and knowledge they need to grow into confident and capable leaders and citizens of the world. Individuals who know how to innovate and work as a team and are motivated by a common connection to and love of nature. Highly skilled, caring and educated young people whose actions and attitudes are guided by an unwavering, green and highly moral compass and who are backed up by a loving, dynamic, and active community. 

Recognising that positive, meaningful, change starts with education, at Humboldt we are on track to raise new generations that will be well equipped to tackle the challenging issues facing our world today. As Mother Teresa so famously said: “Together we can do great things!’
