Introducing Rosny’s New Assistant Principal - Matt Eyles

I am excited to be joining the Rosny College team this term in the role of Assistant Principal of Wellbeing for Learning.

I am both a Registered Nurse and a Science/Math teacher. I have worked around the country, focusing on ways to engage young people into future pathways for learning/wellbeing success. I started my Tassie teaching by leading the development of the Introduction to Nursing course at Hobart College, building a passion/understanding of Vocational Courses (VET). I then moved to Huonville High to lead their 9-12 program, supporting the transition and course development in conjunction with the Trade Training Centre. Most recently I have been the Assistant Principal at Dover District School, working toward improving engagement across K-12. I have recently moved to the Eastern Shore and am excited about being on the warm side of the river.

Key projects I will be leading in 2023

As the Assistant Principal overseeing Wellbeing for Learning I will be leading projects related to transition/course counselling, wellbeing inquiries and supporting our Advanced Skills Teachers leading VET, HPOE, Visual Art, Performing Art, Design and Technologies and Foods and Services.

With the experienced Wellbeing Inquiry lead (Kate O’Neill), VET QM (Belinda Vallerine), Courses Counsellors (Gav Joyce, Evelyn Murray, Callum Hollingsworth) and Careers Lead (Suze Quinn), we have a range of projects that will help students succeed within their chosen pathways. Some key activities to be aware of:

Wellbeing Inquiries & Support Groups

We are embarking on ways to continue to improve the Rosny school culture through a whole school inquiry around wellbeing. Using the six domains of child and youth wellbeing, we are working with staff, students and parents to have their say and develop skills for future success. Through support Groups (Wednesday 12:00-12.45), support group teachers will lead wellbeing activities. We have a range of careers information sessions around VET and UTAS opportunities.
