Hello students, parents and community members,

It is a real pleasure to be joining the staff here at Bannister Creek Primary School. I have been overwhelmed with the welcoming and friendly nature of all the students here at Bannister Creek, and thank all those students who have made me feel welcome by coming to say hello and introducing themselves and their family members.

I have worked in education for over 10 years across the Perth Metro Area. For the last 7 years, I have worked at Campbell Primary School in Canning Vale, as a level 3 Early Childhood teacher across Kindy to Year 1, year level team leader and curriculum leader. I am passionate about Early Childhood Education and providing all our students with an optimum start to their schooling and early intervention where needed. I believe all students across the school should have access to a high quality learning program and environment within which to learn and flourish. In Semester One of this year, I joined the executive team as Deputy Principal at Piara Waters Primary School. I managed and led the Early Childhood teaching team, as well as the Student Services Portfolio.

One of my roles at Bannister Creek PS will be working with the executive team to manage the implementation of the teaching and learning program across the school, and to ensure student well-being, improvement and progress is a priority for all our students. As Deputy Principal, my focus will be on the leading the teaching teams from Kindergarten to Year 2, as well as management of the Student Services portfolio and team across the school. For more information around the role of the Student Services team at Bannister Creek, please refer to the Banister Creek PS website.

I look forward to meeting you and your family members, so please come and say hello when you see me around the school over the coming weeks.

Miss Paige Goodsell
Deputy Principal
