Besides completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree in Adelaide and Diploma of Secondary Education I have been a lifelong resident of Whyalla. My 27 years of experience as a senior Visual Arts educator has allowed me to extend my skills and share my passion for the fine arts with countless students. I particularly enjoy exploring and creating various forms of art including printmaking, pottery and drawing. Other passions of mine include gardening, especially native plants, vintage motorbikes and exploring the outdoors. This year I will be teaching a range of Art and Future Technologies subjects’ years 7,8,11 and 12.
Rebecca Ramm
Year 11 & 12 Assistant Principal & 11/12 Food & Hospitality Teacher
Email: Rebecca.Ramm133@schools.sa.edu.au
Before joining Whyalla Secondary College, I worked for the last 10 years in a large public school in Adelaide’s northern suburbs. Outside of education, you can find me on a basketball court. This has been a passion of mine since the age of 12, and the court is my second home. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the camaraderie, the competition, and having fun. One of my greatest passions is exploring the world. I’ve been fortunate to set foot in over 30 countries so far and am wanting to discover more. Whether it’s immersing myself in different cultures, savouring local cuisines, or adventuring through diverse landscapes, each journey adds a new chapter to my life. As we step into 2024, I’m most excited about the potential for new adventures and experiences. I’m looking forward to exploring Whyalla and the local areas, through working within a wonderful country community. You might think you’re seeing double, but you’re not; that is my sister, don’t get us confused you’ll soon figure out I am the more stylish one.

Greetings WSC Families. I am Robert Schofield and I have been teaching in Whyalla since 2010, beginning at Whyalla High School. I teach Design and Technology across years 8 to 12, focussing on wood technology and advancing technology. Outside of school I have been involved with the GFG student program since it began in 2018 along with touch football and, until recently gymnastics.
