New Faces at Nazareth

I am delighted to have joined the Nazareth College community as the Director of Human Resources, Risk and Compliance. I have felt incredibly welcomed by staff and have already experienced the strong sense of care, connection and community that makes Nazareth such a special place.

I bring over 20 years of experience in human resources across Catholic and independent schools, recruitment and corporate services. My passion lies in supporting people, strengthening culture, and working alongside staff and leaders to create positive, inclusive and high-performing workplaces. I value collaboration, integrity and thoughtful leadership, and I look forward to partnering with staff across the College throughout the employee lifecycle.

Outside of work,  I enjoy cooking for my growing family, and working on creative projects. I am also a qualified life coach and have a strong interest in professional learning, personal growth and wellbeing.

I am very much looking forward to getting to know the Nazareth community and contributing to the ongoing success of the College.

My name is Danielle Lupi, and I am delighted to be joining you this year. I bring over 30 years of experience in education and leadership, and I truly believe teaching is my vocation. I hold high expectations for students, balanced with mercy, encouragement, and a good sense of humour, and I love supporting young people to flourish and discover their purpose and gifts. 

I have been married for 32 years and am blessed with three young adult children. Outside the classroom, I have a strong passion for musical theatre, both in performance and direction, and I also serve as a Praise and Worship leader. 

In my spare time, I enjoy reading mystery novels, watching all kinds of movies, and chatting with friends. I am deeply committed to bringing the joy and light of Jesus into all that I do, and I look forward to journeying together as part of the Nazareth community.

I’ll also be taking on the role of Pastoral Teacher for Mannix, which I’m especially passionate about as I value building positive relationships and supporting student wellbeing.

My name is Jasmine Dy-Suppa and I look forward to continuing my teaching career at Nazareth College this year. 

I'll be teaching junior Mathematics and hoping to grow and teach Senior Maths in the future. I'm only in my second year of teaching so I'm excited to learn from the wonderful Maths team here. 

When I can, I love getting crafty and making memories - junk journalling and scrapbooking are things I love to do in my spare time. Otherwise, I love challenging myself at the gym and travelling to new places. Don't be shy to say hi!

I have recently had the absolute pleasure of joining the VCE Vocational Major (VM) dream team at Nazareth. My teaching journey started within the passionate, engaging walls of VM a few years ago, and I hope to pursue my teaching career delivering this incredible program and dedicated to its curriculum, for years to come.

I am so excited to teach and support my students, guiding them towards achievement, fulfilment, and confidence in themselves, as well as their abilities, and their future. I believe they should work hard and dream big; the world is their oyster.

Outside of work, I love travelling, exploring the ocean, spending time with animals (especially dogs), and following Sports Entertainment.
