Olivia Chan
Film, Media & English Teacher
Olivia joins us from our sister school, Dulwich College Singapore. As a graduate of the Concurrent Education programme at Queen's University in Canada, Olivia completed her Bachelor of Education alongside her Bachelor of Arts (Hons), specialising in English Literature and History. She also completed her Master’s degree in Youth Justice at Queen's University in Belfast. Throughout her professional teaching career, Olivia has taught English to all year groups from Year 7 to Year 13 in Macau, Shenzhen, and Singapore. During this time, she has been appointed both the Assistant Head of IB English and Head of English and EAL.
Outside classroom teaching, Olivia has enjoyed supporting enrichment activities such as supervising student leadership, coaching students for debate competitions, and helping with stagecraft activities for the school play. Outside the classroom, Olivia is passionate about the arts, reading, and exercise. Having trained for many years as a black belt in Taekwondo, Olivia enjoys spending time at the gym or going on a hike as much as she does reading a book at a café, sketching, or learning new languages. Olivia is accompanied by her partner, Rob Nowak, who is a PE teacher.
