Kilnacrott Staff Member: Mrs Murphy (Head of Mathematics)
Profile:
I first came to Australia from  Ireland in August 1999. I worked for  term 4  at Morley Senior High before applying  for a few positions in a number of schools and was lucky enough to be accepted at St Norbert College in 2000.  I stayed at St Norbert College for 4 years as Mathematics Teacher and in that time I was also acting Head of House for Premontre and Xanten on different occasions.  

My husband and I returned to Ireland in 2003 for a number of months and we decided it wasn’t the best decision so we then came back to Australia where I returned to St Norbert College.  I then became Head of House for Magdeburg for a number of fantastic years. I had a baby boy Kevin in 2005 and again another boy Seamus in 2006 so Ireland was calling me once again.  We returned to Ireland in 2007 and this time stayed for 5 years.  Our daughter Nichola Rose was born there.

But being the "Boomerang family”  that we are, we returned to Australia in the middle of 2012 following an economic downturn in Ireland to find a vacancy once again at St Norbert College.  I got a position as Mathematics Teachers and became head of Mathematics within 6 months.   

I’ve always felt very honoured to be a part of this wonderful community and whilst I can’t promise we won’t leave again,  I can promise I will always feel drawn to this beautiful college and it’s community.
