STAFF INTRODUCTIONS

Gill Dowd

I am delighted to introduce myself as the Acting Wellbeing and Aboriginal Education Coordinator  for the remainder of Term 1. Having been a part of this wonderful school community for 17 years, I am honoured to take on this role and continue contributing to the wellbeing and educational success of our students. 

I believe our school is a wonderful place for students to attend and I am passionate about fostering a school environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Wellbeing is at the heart of student success, and I am committed to supporting young people, educators and families to have the tools, resources, and guidance they need to navigate school life with confidence and resilience.

Equally, I am dedicated to strengthening Aboriginal education within our school—promoting cultural understanding, respect, and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, perspectives, and contributions.

I look forward to collaborating to create an inclusive, supportive, and enriching environment for our students. 

Please feel free to reach out to me.

I look forward to opportunities to connect with you all, 

Warm Regards,

Gill Dowd

I am super excited about being a part of the Hackham East Team and teaching the beautiful R/1s. Thank you to everyone for being so inclusive and making me feel so welcome. 

This is my 6th year of teaching. Health, fitness & wellbeing are my hobbies. I love running & teach group fitness once a week. I also enjoy reading mystery and thriller novels. 

Warm Regards,
