Name:  Mrs IMBRIANO (Katie)

Teaching: 5/6 Red

Before I was at Sacred Heart, I was lucky to work as a Learning Support teacher at St Judes Primary School for two years whilst I finished my Education degree. I then was offered a job at Marist Junior School and taught there for eight years until I had my first son. I worked part time at Gymbaroo and then decided to go back into teaching. I was lucky to have the opportunity to work at Sacred Heart and feel truly fortunate to be working in such an amazing community.

I have three children Oliver (11), Joseph (8) and Vincent (6).

I also have a very adorable pet rabbit called Buddy.

I have to admit I do have a weakness for chocolate. M & Ms and Cherry Ripes are among my favourites.

I don’t have a lot of spare time to follow my favourite professional sports team as I used to. So my favourite sports teams are those of my children. I love watching them play and enjoy their sports. I am quite the cheer squad!

I think if I could be a superhero it would be Wonder Woman. She empowers woman to be strong and her abilities include speed, stamina and durability, which I could use in my everyday life! Wonder Woman’s lasso could also come in handy trying to wrangle three boys.

If I was not teaching I would like to be involved in Sports Science and Human Movement. I also would also like to be a Police Officer as I enjoyed my time volunteering in the State Emergency Service, working with the Police and other Emergency Agencies.

I have oh so many fond memories of funny quotes from students! I will always remember a child calling a tsunami ‘a salami’ all lesson, even after I corrected them, they still called it a salami.

You may not know that I love, love, love wearing my unicorn slippers!
