New Staff Profile

Mr Jamie Davin

I am very delighted to be joining Mazenod College. I was attracted to this school from the fine reputation it prides itself upon in the broader community. I have been teaching for 8 years at Aquinas College; a large Catholic co-educational College in Ringwood.  Over the past 4 years I have held the position of Year 7 & 8 Coordinator. I am passionate about nurturing young teachers into the profession and have had the opportunity to be responsible for the mentoring and development of Graduate teachers. I have experience teaching Science, Maths, Religious Education and Biology.

I am a member of the neighboring St Justin’s Parish council and enjoy the opportunity to get involved in this community.

I am currently studying a Master of Education at Australian Catholic University. During my free time I love running, traveling and football.

I was recently married in January (2020) and look forward this exciting new chapter in my life.

Mr Michael Miller

My name is Michael Miller and I come to Mazenod from Parade College where I began my career in 2004 and served for 16 years. During this time, I was Health and Physical Education Faculty Head for 4 years. My two teaching methods are Physical Education and Religious Education. I am a De La Salle College old boy (please forgive me).

I coached across a variety of sports in the ACC competition while at Parade and in more recent years found myself coaching Senior Soccer, despite having played junior and senior football for the Ormond Amateur Football Club (again please forgive me). Unfortunately, or fortunately, I suffered multiple losses to the Mazenod Senior Soccer juggernaut over recent years. I can recall one particular sports afternoon where a student from the Mazenod Year 10 Volleyball Team had to serve underarm so that the Parade side could keep the ball alive!    

I live reasonably local to Mazenod in Clarinda and therefore my commute time to work will be significantly lower, considering that I was doing over 300km a week travelling to Bundoora. That’s in excess of 2 hours in the car a day and a lot of petrol! I have been married for 14 years and have two young Children. My daughter Scarlett is 8 years of age and my son Elijah is 4. In my spare time I try and keep fit, but this can be difficult with two young children. I recently started playing indoor cricket socially and have found some time for fishing again, after buying a very old boat with an original motor (both 1985) early last year. I am lucky enough to have a family holiday home in Rye and have spent every summer there since I can remember. It is nice for my own children to spend part of their Christmas holiday in such a wonderful part of the world.

I can’t wait to get to know you, work alongside you and get stuck into the 2020 school year at Mazenod College!
