I have been a HPE Teacher for over thirty years in UK and Victoria. I am Head of PE at St Andrews Christian College in Wantirna South in Eastern Suburbs. I am married and have three children myself involved in education. I am still an enthusiastic soccer player, coach and referee. I help run a refugee soccer program in Casey, Melbourne. I am looking forward to meeting others at the Conference!

Gina Oliver, originally from Tasmania, is a dedicated educator with teaching experience across Tasmania, the UK, and various schools in Victoria. She now lives and teaches in Geelong and is a proud foundation staff member at Iona College Geelong, a school committed to “Learning to Change the World.” As a guest speaker on the topic Connecting Sport, Providers and Education to Change Lives, Gina is passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for students. She designed the Year 10 HPE elective Active and Able, which connects students with local sport providers through workshops and incursions. The program aims to change lives by promoting inclusion through educating students about disability and fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect within the school and the wider community.
