Deputy Head of Prep School Curriculum
Churchie welcomed Deputy Head of Preparatory School Curriculum Larissa Guy at the start of 2022. Larissa has a broad range of educational experience from a variety of teaching and leadership roles, most recently as Deputy Head of Primary at Moreton Bay Boys’ College.
Each week, Larissa meets with the Prep School teaching teams to support planning and collaboration. She says her favourite days are the ones where she works with the teachers and students, visiting classrooms and seeing what the boys are working on and learning. ‘I have really enjoyed getting to know the boys and staff,’ Larissa said. ‘I love their smiles and beautiful manners, conversations with them when I am on duty and watching them grow over the year.’ Larissa was instrumental in leading the Prep School through the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) evaluation this year, which involved staff assessing how well they were meeting the PYP standards and practices.
‘We spent quite a few meetings reflecting, analysing and celebrating our journey. It was my job to showcase the incredible work our staff have done over the past five years.’

In 2023, Larissa looks forward to spending more time in classrooms and supporting boys on their learning journeys, working with teachers in the curriculum space and getting to know more parents and providing opportunities for them to learn more about the PYP.
