Pyers becomes DMSC principal
Dimboola Memorial Secondary College (DMSC) will see acting principal Charlotte Pyers officially step into the role of principal in Term 4.
Ms Pyers said she is "excited" to step into the role.
"I love this school and I'm very proud of its success," she said.
Born in New Zealand, she completed her HSC in Melbourne and then attended university, where she first earned a Bachelor of Arts.
"There's not much you could do with a Bachelor of Arts, so I decided to give education a go," Ms Pyers said.
She then gained a Diploma of Education, a post-graduate degree of a Bachelor of Education, and a Diploma of Modern Languages (German).
"I love teaching and imparting knowledge to students," she said.
"It's the most rewarding job and I've been in education ever since."
In 2007, she moved to Dimboola, where she has raised four children, three sons and a daughter, with her husband.
"It's a great place to raise kids," she said.
In 2009, Ms Pyers began teaching at DMSC while she was pregnant with her fourth child.
"My husband was the principal at the time, and they needed an English teacher," she said.
Ms Pyers became assistant principal in 2020 until the end of 2024, before taking on the role of acting principal since the beginning of 2025.
Passionate about education, she said, stepping into the new role will be good.
"I've been at the school for so long, I'm in my element," she said.
Ms Pyers will continue to teach in the classroom as she takes one class, Year 11 VCE English, while also keeping the school on track to equip students with the skills to be successful, continuing "to provide individual support both academic and wellbeing".
"Every student should have access to high-quality education regardless of where they live," she said.
