New Staff at St Albans Secondary College
Sam McCall
My name is Samuel McCall and I am excited about joining the SASC team again, after spending 6 years in the Individual Needs Department. During this time I studied at Victoria University to complete my Bachelor of Youth work. After completing my degree I worked at The Orange Door, which is a family violence service, building up my skills, knowledge and understanding of how to help people. Once I saw the opportunity to work at St Albans Secondary College again I jumped at the chance to be a part of the school wellbeing team.
In my spare time I play soccer, video games and like to go hiking.
I am super excited to work at St Albans (again) and to further develop my skills and knowledge in a school environment.

Angelica Dowler
Dear St Albans Secondary College Community,
Hey! I’m Angelica and I’m currently on placement at St Albans SC as a Social Work Masters student (from Charles Sturt University). I am very excited to work within the amazing school wellbeing team – my supervisor and colleagues are super inspiring and supportive. It is also an honour to learn and grow alongside the students of St Albans.
I have professional and educational knowledge in social work, Chinese medicine, acting and performance-making and emotion-based/somatic therapies.
In my spare time I enjoy running through the forest, swimming in the river (in the warmer months at least!), creating electronic music, singing and dancing.
I look forward to continuing to get to know staff and students over the coming months!
