My name is Emma Fowler, I am a mother to two beautiful children (most of the time) Indiana who is 10 and Nathaniel who is 6 and my husband Aaron is a Bus Driver. We have a pet cat called Katie and he, yes it is a he, spends most of his time sleeping.

I am a proud Boandik woman and our Country is located down in the South East of SA around the Penola and Mt Gambier region. My great great Grandmother was Annie Brice, a strong Aboriginal woman who as a child was taught to read and write by Mary MacKillop. Annie who became Catholic because of Mary was “ a fiercely religious young woman with a strong work ethic.” 

Annie is definitely one of my role models alongside my own mother. Both women overcame adversary to become successful women in their own right. They both put the needs of their children first, loving them unconditionally.

My hobbies are now based a lot on my children. I love watching both my children play sport especially basketball. We are a West Adelaide Bearcats family but please don’t hold that against me. I enjoy a good word puzzle and love playing board games or card games with family and friends.

I enjoy listening to all types of music but particularly enjoy listening to Creedence especially their clearwater revival, Fleetwood Mac, Powderfinger, the Red hot Chilli Peppers, Katy Perry and Dua Lipa. A real mix there but for me music brings back memories and I love listening to music with my children in the pursuit of creating new memories.

A fun fact about me I don’t like warm/hot drinks. I only like my drinks cold!

The best part of teaching is seeing the sheer joy on children’s faces. Their smiles are infectious and being able to see the world through their eyes is a precious gift, one that I treasure.

I strongly believe that every child deserves a quality education, and I am passionate about making this happen for each and every child. I am future focussed and believe every child should be equipped with the skills they need to thrive in an unknown future hence my interest in emerging technologies.

Wishing you all a great start to the term,

Emma Fowler 
Deputy Principal
