Guest Biographies:

-Jacqueline Scarf has been a teacher at Coogee Public School since 2012.  She taught K-2 in those years as well as Learning Support and Art. Her special interests are English, History and Art.

-Paul is a lifeguard at Wylie's Baths in Coogee, a beautiful tidal pool open to all, on Gadigal and Bidjigal land. His job is fundamentally about helping people connect safely with the ocean. He monitors risks to swimmers from big swell and marine life encounters (which many people want!), and he helps with kiosk and site maintenance, to continue its long heritage as a gathering place for all ages. He is also a psychologist and ethics teacher and loves living in this coastal community with his family.
