We’re so excited to announce the newest addition to our team, Queensland School Development Coach, Rachel Blatch!

Rachel has implemented and developed Project-Based Learning in both UK and Australian schools. She has extensive experience in adapting both Primary and Secondary curriculum for delivery in a student-centred way. Adept at leading Professional Development, Rachel has also mentored and coached teams in providing personalised learning pathways and improved learner engagement and outcomes through PBL.

Rachel worked closely with New Tech Network for over 4 years, developing Project Based Learning at Kings Christian College, Queensland.
