Meet our Staff

Ms Chen

My name is Miss Chen. I have a much‑loved dog named Caily, and I’m also a proud aunt to a niece and nephew. My favourite drink is a green tea Frappuccino, and I’m a big fan of all things yellow, spicy flavours, and a good coffee or tea. 

Before joining POPS, I taught Year 4 at Milgate Primary School for three years.

Ms Owen

I love to travel and try different things.  One of the many highlights of my travels includes exploring South America. Perhaps that is where my love of llamas developed! Hot air ballooning across the Atacama Desert and hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with my two sisters was amazing!  Before coming to POPS (a few years ago now!) I spent two years living and teaching in London. During that time, I was able to discover many different countries, experience a variety of cultures and meet some amazing people.  Italy is one of my favourite countries and I was lucky to visit this wonderful country several times.

I enjoy a variety of sports such as tennis and netball. I like jogging, hiking, bike riding, kayaking and yoga. I try to keep fit and healthy by exercising most days and eating healthy food. I am a Collingwood supporter!..... I also enjoy reading good books, going to the cinema, cooking and spending time with friends and family. I am a proud aunty to Owen and Ellie and adore our time together. A cheeky mini dachshund, named Zopenko, has just joined our little family so we’ll be busy this year with puppy training!
