I would like to introduce the Year 8 Coordinators and Boarding Staff of 2011. As you can see from the information below we are very lucky to have such an experienced group of professionals who are commited to working with your son to do his very best whilst at the College.
Mrs Donna Quinn – Academic Coordinator
A warm welcome to all parents and carers of boys in Year 8, 2011. My name is Donna Quinn and I am the Academic Coordinator for your sons this year. I have worked at Joeys for many years in a number of capacities. My specialty area is Geography but I have also taught numerous other subjects, coached a variety of sports and worked in both Year 11 and Year 7 Boarding. I am really looking forward to working with you and your sons over 2011. My role is particularly concerned with the day to day academic and pastoral needs of your sons. I believe it is very important that the boys further develop and consolidate their academic skills in Year 8 and I will be encouraging them towards this end. I work closely with Anthony Rooskie and the boarding team to ensure your sons are well cared for.
