Adam+Foster

Adam Foster I live and work in Inverloch, a small but growing town 140 km southeast of Melbourne on Victoria's southern coastline. Inverloch's location at the mouth of Anderson Inlet is an ideal place to live as it is flanked by the protected waters of the inlet and an open surf beach, is less than an hours drive to Wilson's Promontory, sits alongside the Bunurong Marine Park and is an easy thirty minute drive to Phillip Island.



I have worked at Inverloch Primary School for the past five years and in that time the school has grown from 180 students to 270. The school has an annexe arrangement with Kongwak Primary School (approx 40 students) which is located approximately 15 km north of Inverloch. The Kongwak annexe is administered from Inverloch and staffed by Inverloch teachers who rotate through the school in generally three year blocks.

In my time at Inverloch I have taught Y4 to Y6 and spent 2008 at Kongwak teaching 5/6 (15 students . . . if only that were the case everywhere). This year I am science specialist P-6, Y4 one day per week and have IT responsibilities.
