Unlock Your Teaching Potential

From Exhausted & Frustrated to Empowered & Inspired

Sometimes you need a coach who has been in your shoes.

Plain and simple, you need help. You need someone to guide you through the difficult situations and help you get moving in the right direction.

Hi, I’m Peta

I understand what it’s like to feel the pressures of being a teacher and Principal. That is why I founded Beyond the Classroom in 2018 with the mission to support educators.

After more than 20 years in a variety of roles and workplaces as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal, I combine my extensive background and experiences with a non-judgmental approach. I am passionate about making a change in education by supporting educators. I am equally committed to my own continuous professional and personal development to ensure that my knowledge and skills remain relevant to my work.
