Natalie began her teaching career as a Physical & Health Education teacher and has worked across public and private schools in the Perth metropolitan area, regional WA and Melbourne, Victoria. Natalie shifted into the Vocational Education and Training (VET) space many years ago where she was fortunate to work in another RTO school in regional Western Australia.
Providing positive engaging educational and vocational experiences is of utmost importance to Natalie. The various VET programs offered to students on site and off site encompass and acknowledge our student’s diversity, creativity and innovative minds through multiple learning platforms and experiences. The important college connections to the community and industry ensure that the programs remain aligned with current industry standards and trends ultimately preparing students for success post-secondary schooling.
As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 50549) John Curtin College of the Arts provides nationally recognised certificate courses in arts industry qualifications. These qualifications combine industry standard training with real-life work experiences equipping students with the skills necessary to enter the workforce, acquire transferable skills or pursue further tertiary education.
Natalie is a highly committed and experienced RTO manager and Program Coordinator – VET playing a central role in the development and management of the college’s vocational education and training initiatives. In December 2024, under her leadership, the college won GOLD at the Australian Training Awards in Canberra for the School Pathways to VET category.
