Teaching & Learning

It’s wonderful to be back

Welcome to 2026. I am honoured to be returning to St George’s in a new role as Dean of Teaching and Learning, and it has been wonderful to be welcomed back so warmly by students, staff, and families. I look forward to working closely with you to best support your child’s academic pathway.

It has been fantastic to return to classrooms and see such a strong start to the year, with students demonstrating dedication to their studies from the very beginning of the academic year. I look forward to building on this positive momentum throughout 2026.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s learning, please feel free to contact me via SEQTA Direct Message or via email at abochrinis@stgeorges.wa.edu.au.
