Hi, my name is Vassy Rudrum, and I’m thrilled to be joining Aveley Secondary College as a science teacher in 2021. I obtained my Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) and Bachelor of Science (Chemistry, Honours) at Curtin University. I then stayed on and completed a Doctor of Philosophy in organic chemistry. I was employed as an academic at Curtin University’s Department of Chemistry for 6 years, a role I thoroughly enjoyed. I taught hundreds of students during my tenure, all from diverse backgrounds and enrolled in various undergraduate degrees. I then went on to work at a chemistry research organisation for over 4 years, where I created new pharmaceutical drugs for a number of high profile clients.
I look forward to teaching and promoting science at Aveley Secondary College within its wonderful facilities. I want to show my students the power of a good quality education, to aim high and have pride in their work.
