Hey!

I'm Kelly…

I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, especially growing up with over 40 cousins and the eldest of four. I started teaching PDHPE & CAFS to make a difference in the lives of young people.

I live in Killcare on the sunny Central Coast of NSW in Australia with my husband Daniel and two gorgeous cheeky girls. When I'm not supporting educators, you can find me at the gym, on the beach or reading...

With over 20+ years as a PDHPE educator, I have been through many syllabus changes in our PDHPE and CAFS courses.

Over the last 15 years I have led PDHPE & CAFS in multiple roles including ACHPER NSW President,
CAFS & K-10 PDHPE Syllabus Implementation and NSW Supervisor of Marking for HSC Community and Family Studies. 

I feel so blessed to have supported over 4000 PDHPE and CAFS teachers across NSW and over 8000 PDHPE and CAFS students since 2007. 

The burnout of teaching is real and I never want you to feel like I did when I left the classroom in July 2020. 

Things happen for a reason and now I feel so blessed to support thousands of Health & Movement Science, PDHPE,
Community & Family Studies and Dance teachers inside pdhpe.net and The Learning Network. 

It is our core mission to protect your precious time, energy and wellbeing as a busy HMS, PDHPE, CAFS or Dance teacher with
game changing resources and support. 

My contributions to the organisation was recognised by the Professional Teachers’ Council NSW in 2014 for my work where I received an Outstanding Professional Service Award as an acknowledgment of excellence in the profession.

My commitment to supporting teachers to be the best educators they can be was further developed when I completed a Master in Educational Leadership from the Australian Catholic University and when I became a Google Level 1 Educator. 

The Learning Network and pdhpe.net has quickly become the go-to space for PDHPE, CAFS and Health and Movement Science with our new stream of Dance education.

We are here to create a movement in all things PDHPE, CAFS, HMS and Dance!
