Jonathan has been at Plympton Primary School since 2009, undertaking a variety of roles during this time. In his role as the Deputy Principal, Jonathan’s focus is on curriculum development and high-quality teaching and learning across all year levels at PPS. His current focus is on the development of reading for all students across the school. Jonathan is also passionate about the role and use of digital technologies in education.

Having been a part of the Plympton community for a number of years, Jonathan has strong relationships with students and families. He is passionate about students having opportunities that cater for all abilities, including the facilitation of extra curricula activities including the ICAS programs, Write a Book in a Day, the Australian Maths Challenge and Out of Hours school sport. Jonathan leads student leadership programs, including the Student Representative Council and Year 6 ambassador program.

I am thrilled to be a part of Plympton Primary School in 2024! I have found it to be a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive school where every child is valued. I strongly believe that fostering positive relationships with students and their families is crucial for children’s growth as both learners and individuals. In my role, I am responsible for leading and managing personalised programs to enhance learning outcomes, offering wellbeing support to children and their families, and leading the implementation of regulation initiatives. Together, we ensure that all staff and students have access to safe and respectful teaching and learning environments that promote engagement, inclusivity, and positive behaviours. Additionally, I am enjoying teaching the year 1 InitiaLit program and assisting teachers in expanding their understanding of evidence-based best practices in autism.
