Staff In the Spotlight 

Introducing.....Tegan Dockeary, Food Technology and Humanities Teacher

Why did you decide to become a Teacher?

I’ve always loved learning and wanted to inspire that same curiosity in others.

How long have you been in the teaching game?

This is my second year!

What was your last place of employment - school/university or another organisation?

I studied at Australian Catholic University and began my teaching career at Cranbourne Secondary College.

What do you love most about being a Teacher?

Building positive relationships with students and seeing them grow, both academically and personally.

What has been one of your best teaching moments?

Seeing my Year 12 students flourish—watching their confidence grow, their hard work pay off, and knowing they’re prepared for the next stage of their lives.

What would be 3 things that you would like the students to know about you

1. I believe everyone has the ability to succeed in their own way.
2. I love a good discussion—so be ready to share your thoughts!
3. I’ll always support them, even when things get tough.

Where is your favourite holiday destination?

London

What TV show/series did you last binge watch?

Grey's Anatomy.

If you could wear Harry’s invisibility cloak for one day, where would you go and what would you do?   That’s Harry Potter’s cloak not Harry Ruff’s cloak 😊

I’d sneak into a Broadway theatre and watch a show from the best seat in the house—without a ticket!

What is the one piece of ‘advice’ or the one thing that you always say to your students?

“Progress is better than perfection—just keep moving forward.”

Thank you Tegan, and welcome to Mullauna College.
