The Nudgee Beach EEC Team

​​​​Allison

Principal

Allison is a passionate educator, with a strong connection to nature and a desire to take care of it. She grew up in Far North Queensland in a little town called Mirriwinni, located at the bottom of Mount Bartle Frere, where she developed her love of spending time outdoors. After completing her teaching degree, she had the privilege of returning to the north to make a difference teaching many students in various schools located in Far North Queensland. During this time, she was privileged to work at Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre for 14 years where she further developed her skills in teaching environmental education for sustainability.  Allison truly believes that learning outdoors gives students the opportunity to engage with nature and capture that 'wow" moment that leads to a greater appreciation and understanding of the environment. With this caring attitude they are empowered to take action to take care for the environment.  She believes that what we do today to live sustainably can make a huge difference for the future of our planet.

After moving to Brisbane in 2013, Allison shared her love of teaching environmental education and creating engaging outdoor learning spaces with colleagues at Aspley East SS. Now at Nudgee Beach Environmental Education, she loves that she is welcoming students as 'Nature Scientists' from schools located all over Brisbane on a daily basis, who have the opportunity to engage with nature and enhance their learning through hands on, real life, place based pedagogy. Allison enjoys working in a team environment and feels privileged to be working alongside an expert teaching team delivering high quality programs in the Nudgee Beach area of Moreton Bay.  She loves that all staff work together to provide a welcoming, positive, inclusive and supportive place for all to enjoy. ​
