Barry May

Deputy Principal

Higher Dip Tch

My love in education is mathematics and science. I also feel that every child has to enjoy school and that is a motivational factor in itself. Outside school I enjoy watching rugby union and also watching softball.
With six children of my own I am often busy going to see them at their sports - netball, rugby union, mountain bike racing, and road cycling.

 

Raewyne Harrison

Associate Principal

Adv. Dip Tch

I am married to Pat and together we have 3 adult, married children who share with us 6 grandchildren.  We are a very close family and we are fortunate in being able to share lots of time and activities together. Our favourite place is Snells Beach.  My hobbies include gardening, reading, and handcrafts . I have taught at all class levels between Year 0 - Year 6 although my position at Freyberg has had a greater emphasis on the Junior levels.

I've been teaching here at Freyberg for five years. I love being part of the Freyberg community because everybody is so welcoming and friendly. I have a passion for literacy, languages and ICT.  In my spare time, I love to go for walks on the beach or in the park with my georgeous chocolate labrador, Rosie. I also enjoy reading a good book in the sun, going scuba diving, spearfishing and hanging out with friends.

I have taught at Freyberg for many years now and have seen the roll grow and change. Every day is different, every class is different but our values are still the same – at Freyberg we appreciate your children and hope to prepare them for the challenges of the future.

I love animals, reading, shopping, yoga, going to the gym, opera, gardening, art, having a good laugh, spending time with friends and family, and Johnny Depp. I enjoy being part of the Freyberg family. We are a happy team of hard working, caring people, committed to learning and doing the best for our students.
