BIG FREEZE STAFF REVEAL — MS TOBIN

1st staff reveal and we are starting at the top. Representing Leadership, Ms Tobin is stepping up again for this year’s Big Freeze! Before teaching, she worked as a property manager, waitress, babysitter, at IGA and even did lawn mowing — which probably explains why she moves around Seymour College at top speed.

Outside of school, she enjoys yoga, axe throwing, mini golf and eating platters. Favourite snacks? Salt & vinegar chips and sour lollies. Ms Tobin’s biggest fear is snakes and students would likely say “Stop doing 6-7 with your hands while explaining tasks!” 

One thing she definitely does NOT want from the spinning wheel? Her new husband, Nick Dundon from Wellbeing, enjoying her punishment a little too much 

Big Freeze 12 is coming… and so is the spinning wheel 💙

Donate now and put ‘Ms Tobin’ in the ‘leave a message’ section to make your votes go towards Ms Tobin for an extra punishment!

BIG FREEZE STAFF REVEAL — MR STORY – SCIENCE

Mr Story has entered the Big Freeze lineup. Known for colourful shirts, loud energy and the students would certainly say he has enough dad jokes to last a lifetime. Mr Story is proudly representing Science this year.

Before becoming a teacher, he worked stocking shelves, in automotive retail and even as a DJ. When he’s not in the classroom, he enjoys woodworking, creative projects and crafting things from random objects — plus he’s played in bands for most of his life.

Worst spinning wheel punishment? Apparently none. His exact words: “Bring it on.” 💪

BIG FREEZE STAFF REVEAL — SOPHIE LOCKE – EDUCATION SUPPORT

Representing Education Support, Sophie Locke is stepping up for this year’s Big Freeze because she knows what an important cause it is, with friends who have been affected by MND. 

A former Seymour College student herself, Sophie is now back supporting students as part of the ES team — and students would probably say she loves a joke and always has a laugh with them 

Fun fact? Sophie kicked Hawthorn’s first AFLW goal and can even play the harmonica 

Outside of school, she loves footy, road trips and eating lots of food (especially chocolate and hot chips. If you can’t find her, she’s probably watching Hawthorn or enjoying some off-campus adventures.

Sporty, creative and kind — Sophie is ready for Big Freeze 12 ❄️
