Role at TSSM:

Since starting with TSSM in 2016, Dianne has been an integral member of the Mathematics team.

Her expertise in the subject comes from years of teaching experience and her love for Mathematics. Dianne is truly a great teacher with a deep passion for Mathematics which students find contagious.

Teaching Philosophy:

Every student deserves the best Dianne can give. Dianne relishes the challenge of "making it make sense" to her students and takes pride in their achievements.

Interests:

Dianne has many and varied interests.

In her "pre getting old" days as she refers to it, she used to ride horses and enjoyed one day eventing at Pony Club level. She held a picnic jockeys license and rode at races in Colac once a year. She was lucky enough to ride 4 winners from 15 starts!

She used to cook for local shows and won a few titles. Dianne even made it through to the state final of the Sunbeam foods rich fruit cake competitions twice, placing first one year and second the other at the Royal Melbourne Show.

Dianne's two daughters were/are swimmers, so she got heavily involved with the swimming club and she is a qualified technical official with Swimming Australia, so she spends some weekends walking the side of the pool at swim meets, which she enjoys.

Dianne is also involved with her local Parish Church and whips up a mean scone for our annual Parish Fete.

Dianne loves spending time with family and friends.
