Sustainable and organic farm life was how I grew up. We ate meat,
fruit and vegetables and even honey, all produced on the land.
Mom made big breakfasts and lunches (we were back from school by
2 pm). We were encouraged to cook dinners at night and during
holidays to give mom a break. My parents encouraged me
to develop skills in different crafts.I showed an interest
in sewing at the age of 10. Dad worked with a plan and asked mom
to buy me lots of fabric and no clothes. Thus I was forced into
making clothes for myself. Fortunately I loved it and got many
compliments along the way for my creations. That led me to study
a Bachelor of Home Economics, majoring in clothing and interior.
As soon as I got married I started a bespoke fashion business. It
worked well since I travelled extensively with my engineer
husband and could always run my business, even working part-time
between having kids. As a mature age student, I completed a
Master of Teaching degree. I absolutely love my career and
currently teach Home Economics at Brighton Secondary School. It
is so rewarding because it is creative, practical and
fluid.

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.

Tracey Price
I am the Dean of the Education
faculty, Dean of the Humanities & Social Science
faculty, and Director of Scholarship (Teaching &
Learning). What I love most is my work as a Senior Lecturer in
Pedagogy, in Spirituality and in Ethics subjects. 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 educational challenge; as T.S Eliot famously
said, 'Only those who risk going too far can possibly find
out how far they can go!

Victoria Warren
In my role as Deputy Dean, I am passionate about meaningful teaching. Learning should be rich and valuable for all students! My areas of interest (and research) include understanding and developing effective Curriculum, Critical Pedagogies, Philosophy of Education, Literature, film and History.
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.
