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.

I find incorporating social justice and emphasising kindness in the classroom to be so important. I like to make sure my students leave my classroom feeling empowered to be their best selves, knowing that they are all unique and talented in their own ways, meaning they can go out and make positive changes in our world.
