Jess

ADMIN ASSISTANT

What is your background? 

I grew up in Melbourne and moved to the Northern Rivers with my partner in 2019 for some warmer water!

What do you remember best about primary school? 

I loved school. My favourite subjects were English, Art, and silent reading. At lunch you’d find me reading my way through the library, getting blisters on the monkey bars or doing handstands on the oval with my friends.

Where else have you worked and how has it shaped your outlook?

I worked in publishing houses in Melbourne and then became a freelance editor, so I love working with words. I also teach kids and adults yoga. Working part-time in the BCPS office nicely rounds out my week.

Why do you enjoy working at BCPS?

The lovely group of staff and getting to know the kids and families. My highlights are teaching after-school kids yoga here and attending the school’s special events like the Lantern Parade.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

Growing and raising two little groms.

What aspirations still lie ahead of you?

One day I will write the children’s books that are rattling around my brain, and I am excited to raise a happy, healthy family in this beautiful part of the world.

What occupies your time outside school hours?

Mostly wrangling a baby and a toddler! I like yoga, surfing, swimming at the beach and lake and reading a good book.
