Leadership and Administration
Damien Kitch
Throughout my career, I have taught every level from Foundation- Year Six, and even had a dual role as a PE teacher. I have worked in a variety of schools from those with over 1000 students, to schools with less than 100 students. My teaching experiences have taught me that Upwey South Primary School is just right for learning…not too big and not too small.

When I am not making a mess in the Science classroom, I am being a mum to my two boys, teaching group fitness classes at a variety of gyms or often found at a theatre watching a musical.

In my time away from the classroom, I have a keen interest in spending time in the shed and camping when the Melbourne weather permits.

Before moving into the education field I taught swimming for eleven years, and loved being able to see my students grow in not just their swimming abilities, but in their confidence as well. Having joined the 3/4 team this year, I cannot wait to see our students grow in the same way, not just in their school work but in confidence and as people as well.
