Our People 

WHERE CHILDREN LOVE TO BE

Hi I'm Yen mum to Ethan in Yr 3, Jacob in Yr 1, Caitlin who will start school in a couple of years.

 

What do you do for work? I just recently started back working as an IT consultant - my first gig since having  kids. As well as my paid work I do a bit of volunteer work as the Secretary for the Middle Park & South Melbourne Toy Libraries and I also help out writing grants for the school and toy libraries. I was just recently selected as a Community Panel Member on the Shrine To Sea project - so if you've got any suggestions or ideas feel free to share them with me!

 

What is one thing you are grateful for over the last week? The friendships that I've made with other parents at the school and being able to contribute to my community - shameless plug for SMPPS Family & Friends - join up, it's a great way to meet other parents!

 

What are some of the things you’re most passionate about and most enjoy? 

I think I'm supposed to say my kids here ;) I love having a laugh although my kids don't get my sense of humour, spending time with my husband, Rob, and my kids and just relaxing, reading books, I dabble in trying to keep plants alive in my garden and I'm passionate about the environment and how we can reduce our impact on the environment. I also love having a sticky nose around op shops and hard rubbish piles.

 

Favourite food or dish? Japanese or a good steak.

 

Favourite song, band or movie? My playlist is 80s power ballads, 90s grunge/rock and anything that's upbeat pop - I do love a good sing along, something my kids also don't appreciate.
