Principal
Johanne Reyntjes
I have joined the team at Warrenheip Primary School at the beginning of 2023. I am so proud to be the principal of an amazing school with a strong sense of community and connectedness.
I have been in education for over 25 years, teaching in schools around Ballarat and in a range of different roles. I am passionate about all students having the opportunity to succeed and achieve their personal best. I love books and reading to students. I adore watching our students faces come alive as they hear stories unravel!
In my holidays I travel to sunny Brisbane to visit my 2 beautiful daughters who live there. When at home my husband Matt and I potter in the garden with out dog Lola or enjoy a Sunday drive in our MG, Lola comes of course!
Foundation/1/2 Teacher
Maria O'Neill
Prior to moving to Ballarat with my family, I had experience teaching in Melbourne for thirteen years. During this time, I enjoyed having the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students across all year levels.
I am very excited to have joined the Warrenheip Primary School community and to have the opportunity to work with such committed and wonderful staff and students.
In my spare time, I enjoy catching up with family and friends, reading, playing boardgames and bushwalking.

I have 35 years of experience as a teacher, teaching all year levels and specialist areas such as Information Technology and Reading Intervention. I worked in large Melbourne schools until relocating to Ballarat with my family in 2017.
I feel exceptionally fortunate in gaining a teaching position in this vibrant little school, with its dedicated staff and delightful students. Helping to create a happy, positive and effective learning environment here at Warrenheip is a career highlight.

Ethan
I began working at Warrenheip Primary at the start of term 3, 2022. I grew up in Colac where I completed all of my schooling and then worked for 3 years as an Education Support Worker. I then moved to Ballarat to study at Federation University where I studied a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education teaching. When I'm not at work, I'm playing footy or cricket on the weekends with friends. During the holidays, I love getting down to the beach where I can kick back and relax.
