Hello! I believe that being an educator is
a profound privilege, and it is a joy to have the opportunity to be a part of
your learning journey this semester. My teaching experience spans Junior
Primary, Primary and Middle School as well as Higher Education, mostly within a
Christian education context. It is my desire to support, guide and challenge
you, for you to flourish and become the brilliant teacher you dream to be.
Willy Gollan
My name is Willy Gollan and my background is as a Primary teacher in State, Catholic and Christian schools. During my years of teaching, my approach to teaching and learning has changed over time.
I come from being a classroom teacher who has a desire to see that students are able to access learning. My hope is that the work we do this semester will encourage you as you start on the path to becoming a teacher and the beginning of a lifetime of learning.
It is also my desire, hopefully, to “set you up” for success as you start your teaching career.
Kate Osborne
I am the Head of Program (Primary) and lecturer of several core units in the Education courses. I value inclusive and student-centred education, where individuals are at the heart of curriculum and pedagogical decisions.

Tracey Price
As Executive Dean, Academic, I oversee the academic quality of Tabor's three faculties, Education, Ministry Practice, and Humanities & Social Sciences. I am a member of Tabor's Executive, a member of the Academic Board, and Chair of the Scholarship Committee, which focuses on teaching & learning in the college. What I love most is my lecturing in Pedagogy, in Spirituality and in Ethics units. I love teaching and consider it a privilege and great responsibility to teach teachers! I believe in the transforming power of enabling students to think critically and reflectively, and to accept personal and professional challenge; as T.S Eliot famously said, 'Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go!

Lauren Witchard
Hi! I'm very excited to be teaching English in the Education faculty in 2024. I am a Tabor graduate who has taught in Mount Gambier and McLaren Vale, in both public and private systems, and have taught all streams of Senior English, Media Studies and History. My teaching experience has included roles as an English co-ordinator, Year 12 co-ordinator, Key Media Teacher and a SACE moderator and marker for Stage 2 Media Studies. I am passionate about literature and film, and love sharing this passion with my students through energetic discussions. The world is a better place when we embrace the stories that shape and reflect it, and come to know the many perspectives through which they can be seen while understanding the language that shapes and portrays meaning. When I'm not being overly excited about texts, I love music, food and wine, animals (especially my dog Ringo), heated political discussions, playing with my daughter and binge-watching Netflix.
