Introducing Jenna Auer, Founding Principal of Impact Community ACADEMY

October 4, 2024

Founding principal Jenna Auer embodies Impact Community ACADEMY’s commitment to wellbeing.

Jenna has relocated from Victoria to Bundaberg to take on the role as the school’s inaugural leader with her passion, positivity and energy set to turn the vision of Impact ACADEMY into a reality.

“Wellbeing is a large passion of mine, not just at work and in the classroom, but also in my own life,” Jenna said.

“It’s really exciting to bring my experience I have and the vision and model that IMPACT have created to build a program that will best support the local need.”

As Jenna steps into her new position, she is eager to apply her diverse skills and experiences to build a learning environment centred on wellbeing.

She began her career as a Primary School teacher, where she supported students often labelled as “naughty”, implementing strategies to boost engagement and self-confidence.

Jenna’s dedication to understanding and addressing the impact of disadvantage on learning led her to complete a Masters in Education (Special Educational Needs), specialising in trauma-informed practices.

Meanwhile, her vibrant and adventurous spirit extends beyond the classroom, with a rich background in calisthenics, gymnastics, Hollywood stunt work, Gridiron, and Enduro Motorbike racing. Her passion for health and activity fuels a dynamic approach to education and supporting young people.

“What excites me most is the opportunity to bring our wellbeing model to life,” Jenna shared.

“I’m ready to create an environment where student’s needs are met and I can’t wait to see the positive impact this approach will have.”

Jenna said her goal was to integrate self-awareness and holistic development into the curriculum, to ensure that students thrived both academically and personally.
