Our Staff

Well qualified and dedicated staff

Our dedicated teachers take pride in developing well-grounded and rounded, self-motivated, self-disciplined and self-assured young people. Salcombe parents can expect conscientious and caring teachers who have the needs of their children at heart.

Whilst all of our teachers are trained to teach across the curriculum, and all are specialists in the year levels in which they teach, some will specialise in certain subjects from time to time.
