  Emilia Martin

  Year 6 form adviser
  My passion for education was ignited after immigrating to Canada as a child and meeting educators who inspired me. For over a decade, I have been fortunate enough to practice my craft in several independent schools in Canada and abroad. Besides teaching, I enjoy coaching, sailing, back country hiking and yoga. Volunteering allows me to stay connected to my community. Learning about other cultures by traveling to over 30 countries has inspired in me a deep respect for diversity.

  Bill Elgie

  Director, Norval
  My favourite memories of being a Prep student in the 1970s were our trips to Norval. I was a city kid who felt most at home in nature. It has been a dream come true to work at Norval for over 20 years, and to raise my children with Norval as their backyard. When not at work, you can usually find me with my family out wilderness canoe tripping, hiking , cycling or camping.
