Hello Year 8 families,

I thought it would be timely to introduce myself to you as another layer of support for our students as we move through Semester 2. My name is Bryce Berrell and I am the Head of Department for Student Wellbeing, Engagement and Learning for Year 7 & 8 at Foxwell State Secondary College. I have been at Foxwell SSC since the beginning of 2022, working in the Head of Year space across Year 8 in 2022 and Year 7 in 2023. My main passion as an educator is to support and offer opportunities to our students in hopes of providing them a platform to reach their ultimate success, whatever that may be.

Outside my work in the Head of Year/Head of Department space, I am an English and Drama teacher and have a love for all things Arts. Arts education holds a special place in my heart, and I personally believe that each student, no matter their abilities, can embrace creativity whether theatrically, musically or artistically.

I would like to thank the Year 8 team for a very warm welcome to the Year 8 space over the past few weeks. I am excited to continue my work in this space over the course of this Semester and meet as many Year 8s as possible. I wish all Year 8 students the very best of luck for Term 3… and beyond.
