NEW MEET OUR STAFF!

Marketing & Content Manager: Rebecca Plumridge Head of Student Services (Junior School): Belinda Pearson

Tell us a bit about yourself RP: After finishing at University, I have had quite a variety of different roles in the marketing space! From writing about Game of Thrones for FOXTEL to working for five years at the Australian Reptile Park – I am obsessed with the everchanging digital media space and creating unique content for marketing!

In my spare time I love watching movies (huge Star Wars and Marvel fan!), going to concerts and travelling. I’m heading to America next August and can’t wait!

BP: As an educator, I have had extensive experience in the field of special and inclusive education and have worked across a wide range of settings. I am deeply committed to providing expertise, knowledge and support to enhance an inclusive school environment.

In my spare time I love to cook, share recipes, nurture my indoor garden and dream and plan for travel with my family. What is your role here at HVGS RP: As the Marketing and Content Manager for HVGS I am always running around with my camera to capture everything that’s happening! I work with our Director of Advancement and Community Engagement to build our marketing strategies and develop compelling visual, digital, and written content in internal and external communications, publications, email campaigns, on the school website, social media, and any other platform you can think of! (Are you following us on social media?!) BP: I am the Head of Student Services (Junior School) which means I have the absolute pleasure of working with students, their families and teachers right across the Junior School. As Head of Student Services my focus is on ensuring that students with complex learning and wellbeing needs have access to the curriculum, co-curricula activities and social networks available in the School. Inclusion is my passion and I look forward to working with the staff to ensure all students achieve their full potential. What’s your Treetops order? RP: Usually a Caramello Koala or the Nachos when it’s the special of the day!

BP: Small double flat white – the stronger the better. What have you loved about working at HVGS? RP: The staff and students are so happy and wonderful to be around. It’s truly a joy coming to work each day. I love working in such an open, beautiful space.

BP: The people of course! The students and staff have been so welcoming and I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know everyone. In the short time I’ve been here I have noticed that there is a strong culture of inclusion and respect amongst both staff and students. I am looking forward to being part of the HVGS community and getting to know the students, teachers and families.
