New Staff Member
Term 3, Week 1
Hi there! My name is Chauntelle Jones and I’m excited to join the relief teaching team at Staines Memorial College as I love their strong Christian values.
In my early career, I worked as an accountant before retraining as a High School Business & Accounting teacher. I’ve spent the past six years at The Southport School, and prior to that, I worked as the Head of Year 9 & 10 at Calvary Christian College, Carbrook.
I’ve also completed my Masters in Guidance, Counselling & Careers. Working in the education sector has shown me how passionate I am about helping others discover their God-given abilities and make the best possible decisions for their career journeys.
I grew up with my parents and one younger brother in my family. Now I am married to Caleb, who works in the Welfare Team at the College. Together we have a son, who I look after when I’m not relief teaching.
My top three character strengths are Love, Social Intelligence, and Gratitude. I enjoy rich conversations and seeking to understand others’ perspectives as much as possible. I endeavour to always be thankful, looking for the good wherever I can. Those who know me well would also describe me as friendly, organised, and deliberate.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, finding op shop bargains, and engaging with podcasts, books, and documentaries on human behaviour and self-improvement.
