Welcome to our college community Rach

This week we are excited to introduce you to our new School of Innovation Leader,

Rach Chapman.

Hi everyone! My name is Rach Chapman and I am excited to have the opportunity to be the Leader of School of Innovation at St Anne’s College! Prior to commencing at St Anne’s, I was the College Leader for Pastoral Care and Wellbeing at St Joseph’s College, Echuca, for six years, and the previous 18 years I was based at Murtoa College in the Wimmera.

I have been blessed to work in education for an extended period and have relished the opportunities, challenges and experiences this has brought. I love that no two days are the same and schools are such vibrant, engaging and exciting places to work and be involved with. I am looking forward to being a part of the St Anne’s College community and thank the staff, students and families for the warm welcome I have already received!

I love spending time with family and friends, reading, movies, football, theatre, holidays, social activities, cooking and enjoying fabulous food! I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the St Anne’s College community and look forward to being a part of the exciting and rich learning opportunities and experiences at St Anne’s.

Farewell Ella and congratulations Brooke
