Pam Heath

I went from school to Burwood Teachers' College and taught at Templestowe Primary School, Euroa High School and Whitehorse Girls' Tech before returning as a mature age student to Monash University. I completed a masters degree whilst teaching at Toorak Teachers' College. I then taught at  Phillip Institute which  became part of RMIT where I taught in the Social Sciences until 2002. During that time I taught for a year at a university in Northern Colorado and for 6 months at a Jesuit university in Philadelphia

University was a fabulous experience for me and I feel very fortunate to have been both student and teacher during such exciting and interesting times.


I also reconnected with Otto Rehak (as you will have read )at Monash  and we enjoy two lovely sons and their partners which means frequent visits to Sydney.
In 2004 I started a small business assisting and relocating older people to Aged Care and retirement facilities- such a different direction but one which I really enjoyed.  My younger son took a sabbatical year  and worked for, or with me, trying to develop a 'business rather than a social work approach'!. We both benefited enormously. I sold the business in 2011.

Love retirement and the luxury of setting my own timetable, having the time to help organise this reunion, be on a management committee for an Abbeyfield House, to read and see films to my heart's content, to spend time with friends -  and to be part of a home exchange programme including a 6 week stint minding Max, a cat, in New York; an exchange in Busselton and soon to experience  Launceston and the charms of  Tasmania.
