Meet our Year 5 team

Miss Michelle Davies

I have been teaching at Karoo Primary School for many years and thoroughly enjoy the community feel that is created by the teachers, students and parents working together in partnership. I have worked in many areas of the school including a stint in the Art room. I have taught in Special Education and Secondary school settings have a personal interest and skills in digital technology. I love nurturing the inquisitive minds of my students and work hard to ensure their wellbeing and personal growth are a priority. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family and my beautiful Golden Retriever, Archie.

Mr Joshua Edwards

Karoo Primary School is a wonderful community to be a part of. I have a passion for building strong positive relationships with not just my students, but with everyone who is part of the Karoo community. In my classroom I promote a positive and supportive environment, encouraging student voice, developing students’ Growth Mindset, creating a fun and caring learning space where everyone can succeed and achieve their personal best, and continuing to inspire all my learners to develop a love for learning. When not in the classroom, I enjoy watching AFL, NBA and NFL, playing Nintendo and have a passion for health and fitness.  

Miss Gemma Wild

I have enjoyed working at Karoo for the past ten years and pride myself on building strong relationships with students in all year levels. I am passionate about spreading kindness and promoting this throughout the school, implementing the first World Kindness Day celebration at Karoo last year. In my classroom I set high expectations whilst keeping learning fun and engaging. In the senior year levels, I enjoy promoting and facilitating student leadership, strengthening students’ skills and providing opportunities for them to showcase their ideas. In my time away from school, I love making memories with my daughter, Isabella. I enjoy travelling and visiting my family and friends overseas in the UK, Switzerland and Amsterdam.
