Hello, my name is Chloe Adamovics, and I am excited to be joining the teaching team at Staines Memorial College this term. This is the fifth year of my career as a teacher; I was a Year 5 teacher at Fernbrooke State School for 4 years (2019-2022).

I was raised in a Christian home, and am the eldest of three sisters. My family has always resided in Bellbird Park, moving houses once when I was around eight years old. I completed my high school studies via distance education with Groves Christian College, commencing a Bachelor of Education (Middle Years of Schooling) with Honours the following year in 2014. During the final year of my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to conduct a negotiated curriculum participatory action research project at St. Aidan’s Anglican Girls School, which consolidated my love for research, curriculum development, and contributing to the academic discourse in education. Last year, I graduated from UQ with a second degree—Master of Educational Studies (Curriculum and Leadership). 

Around eight to nine years ago, I started attending group fitness classes at my local gym. This led to me completing a Certificate III in Fitness and becoming a Zumba instructor for a short time. In realising how much I enjoyed dance, I went on to pursue ballroom dancing, of which I am currently working towards a fifth round of examinations. In addition to fitness pursuits, I enjoy playing two instruments (violin and harp), reading, writing, learning Hindi, watching period dramas/Lord of the Rings/Disney films and building Lego. 

As an INFJ, I am driven by a strong sense of purpose and am deeply committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those around me. Loyalty, conscientiousness, and perseverance are three qualities I feel really define me. I value and strive for deep, meaningful connections with others. I approach tasks with meticulous attention to detail, a commitment to excellence, and determination to reach my goals. Staying true to my Christian values and beliefs is important to me, as well as steadfastly pursuing personal and professional growth.
