I have been a member of the Auburn South team since 2011 beginning my time here as a Performing Arts teacher before transitioning to my current role as Assistant Principal. I thoroughly enjoy working with school council; particularly the school improvement committee on ideas and projects focussed on developing our school grounds and infrastructure. I am appreciative of the opportunity to work with a diverse group of motivated people who are passionate about the growth and well-being of our students.

Hayley Street
Staff Council Member
Working with the Auburn South community for the last 6 years, I am really looking forward to working with School Council to make sure our children have the most positive experience at school. In my dual role as Prep B classroom teacher and Learning Specialist focussing on Literacy, I am so proud of our school and am incredilby lucky to work with all teams from Prep to Year 6 to build our capacity and understanding of the Science of Reading. At home we have just welcomed Lulu, a little Golden Retirever puppy who is a little bundle of energy and loves to roll in the mud!!
Sarah Jang
Staff Council Member
I'm looking forward to collaborating and working with the School Council this year. I've been a part of ASPS since 2020, and have stood firm in the Year 6 team. As well as being a classroom teacher, I am a part of the school’s wellbeing teams - Visible Wellbeing and Respectful Relationships. Outside of education, I have a background in politics & international relations, so I’m absolutely in love with the PYP - promoting international mindedness in young people!
