Our Team

Leanne has a strong educational background across the school, TAFE and University sectors stemming from a variety of different roles and initiatives. Most recent leadership roles include Outreach Engineering Manager at Deakin University, the inaugural Director of Geelong Tech School and strategic advisory roles for both Bendigo and Casey Tech Schools.

Having grown up on a farm in Western Victoria Leanne enjoys an active lifestyle with her husband and 3 adult children. In her early life Leanne played hockey at state level, basketball at the national level and represented Australia in Japan, Taiwan and the USA.

Anne-Maree has a diverse background spanning pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and spent the last decade prior to joining Casey Tech School in the education sector at Monash University, where her roles included administration and student experience and engagement.

As a proud member of Casey Tech School, she is thrilled to contribute to a dynamic team and provide administrative expertise, facilitating efficient operations and enhancing the administrative aspects of school.

Abdullah is passionate about technology and artificial intelligence. He loves computer programming and using it to create solutions that automate processes and make life easier. As an educator, he enjoys collaborating with young people to both teach and learn together.

His role allows him to share his excitement about technological advances like AI, robotics, while also developing the critical thinking skills students need to succeed in an increasingly automated world. He looks forward to continuing to explore new ways to make STEAM education engaging and accessible for all.

Craig's journey has been a blend of design, visual arts, engineering, and computing, all fuelled by a love for creative adventures. With stints in both industry and VET teaching under his belt, he's accumulated a diverse toolkit of skills and insights that he brings to every endeavour. At Casey Tech, you might stumble upon him in the DigiLab, tinkering with VR or CAD, or behind a lens in the studio space, or perhaps you'll spot him elbow-deep in a project in the Fab Lab.

Outside of work, Craig loves 'chasing light' with his camera, or chasing ‘Scruff’, his little K9 buddy. He's also equally at home navigating new hiking trails or sending his drone skyward. For Craig, it's all about connecting - whether it's with people, nature, or the perfect shot. Cameras are his tools for uncovering stories and stitching together moments.

With degrees in Science and Education and work across Primary and Secondary schools, Bill has a focused passion on making sure that Science is available and accessible to all students. He's passionate about opening doors to students who may never have had experiences like those at Casey Tech, but be careful, he'll talk to you about the chemistry of food for hours if you let him.

As Australia's most solved Sudoku creator, he loves a puzzle and a quiz and his beloved greyhound, Betty.

Lisa has always had a passion for the Arts. With a Bachelor Degree in Visual Arts, she has worked in Industry as a Graphic Designer for an award winning design studio before becoming a Secondary Teacher.

Lisa enjoys exploring new ideas to combine traditional art making techniques with current and emerging technology and has exhibited in regional galleries. You will most likely find her exploring concepts in the Makerspace. When not in work mode, Lisa loves to spend time with her family and exploring the rail trails on their e-bikes.

Chris is an experienced and enthusiastic secondary teacher with a broad range of experience from working as an industrial chemist to teaching English in Japan and teaching Science (Senior Chemistry and Biology) and Mathematics in Queensland, the ACT and Victoria. With industry experience in pharmaceuticals and petroleum manufacturing he has a solid understanding of the skills students need to be successful in a Science career.

He is passionate about sustainability, the environment and loves interdisciplinary learning. When not at work he can be found riding his bicycle, hiking, reading a good book or learning how to design and print in 3D.

Peter has a BSc and PhD in chemistry as well as postgraduate qualifications in business. His career in Australia and overseas included stints in scientific research (dye chemistry), industry (manufacture of pigments, thermoplastics and resins) and operating an education supply business. He now enjoys working at Casey Tech School to develop experimental methods that are safe, effective and reliable for students undertaking courses in chemistry and molecular biology.

Terry has a background in Science Communication and Marine science and is passionate about puns, dad jokes, and STEAM. Previously, they have been involved in the Questacon Science Circus and several Marine conservation efforts. At Casey Tech, you will find them generally in the Makerspace, working on a number of different design ideas.

Their current projects involve a Mars Rover program, and in their spare time is designing a video game. Something that Terry would like to see in the future is the ‘Northern Lights’, an electromagnetic visual phenomenon viewable near the Arctic Circle.

Betty is a scientist with over 15 years’ experience working in different types of fields, such as, environmental, pathology and medical science. Her main background is in molecular biology but she is also passionate about sleep science.

At Casey Tech, you will find her in the Biohacking lab often tinkering with chemicals, creating new reagents, growing bacterial strains or working with DNA. Betty would love to see students experience what it's like to be working in a laboratory.

Clem is a passionate presenter who loves to educate as much as he loves learning from others. With a diverse background in Automotive Mechanics and Electronics, Psychology, and Sports Science, he is fascinated by how things (and people!) work. Having lived in Singapore and Melbourne, he has a profound respect for both cultural and individual differences, which he uses to inform his teaching and coaching to effectively engage with people from all avenues of life.

When he is not at Casey Tech School, Clem can be found at the basketball stadium, on his track day motorcycle, or eyes-deep in his Post-Grad Psychology studies. He loves a good coffee, working out at the gym, and spending time with his wife and two teenagers.
