Keith Newman | Deputy Principal
Keith is responsible for school operations, including curriculum.
“I’m committed to bringing big school opportunities to a primary school environment. We run an electives program which is like a secondary school program. We give our students a broad range of opportunities and a really good skill set before they start secondary school.”
Jane Eddy | Head of Early Years
Jane is responsible to all the students from 3-year-old kindergarten to Year One. She manages the team in the Early Learning Centre, the Prep to Year 1 teachers and the teachers’ aides.
“When the children are happy and settled, when they feel known and cared for by their teachers, they are ready to try tricky things and have a go. That’s the beauty of a really intimate environment.”
Sharon Seeto | Director of Early Learning Centre
Sharon is the pedagogical leader for the Early Learning Centre. She works closely with families and teachers.
“I’m often the first point of call for families. We really value that connection, and that we know the children really well. All of our ELC teachers know all the children by name.”
Fay Samaras | Head of Human Resources
Fay is responsible for everything to do with employees, from recruitment to learning and development.
“It’s a challenging role, in a very positive way, because I wear so many hats. It’s all purposeful, and it’s rewarding knowing that I have a positive impact.”
Prue Ottey | Registrar
Prue is responsible for enrolling families at Christ Church Grammar School.
"The heart of my role is helping families. I love meeting all the children and families who join our community. Each child brings fresh energy and helps enrich the vibrant, welcoming community we are so proud of."
