There are many changes to teaching staff in 2013 with one of them being the exciting addition of Hannah Chapman to the  the Visual Arts department at Newington College.

Hannah comes to Newington having worked at Queenwood School for Girls. Last year she won the prestigious NSW Teachers Premier COFA Visual Arts Teachers award, and as part of this award she travelled to the Shanghai Biennale.

This year, she will be attending the Venice Biennale to create contemporary art resources for NSW teachers. Hannah is an executive officer of VADEA (Visual Arts and Design Educators Association) and has fulfilled various roles as part of that organisation since its beginning in 2009. She also advises on the Museum of Contemporary Teachers Council and  has worked in curatorial roles at COFA’s Kudos Gallery and Artexpress.

Hannah has a Bachelor of Art Education form COFA, UNSW and will also be the Curator of Newington College’s Concordia Gallery.
