Principal

Dr Vivianne Nikou

B.A, Dip. Ed, M. Ed Pol Admin, D.B.A; AMACEL; MACE; AFAIM

Vivianne is a passionate educator who chose this vocation after an inspiring experience with a teacher in her final year of schooling. After spending two decades in a large independent school, the corporate world, and running her own business, Vivianne has relished the challenge of leading a smaller and younger school. Vivianne believes that every child deserves to experience success, and she brought this philosophy with her when she began as Principal of Alphington Grammar in 2013.

Assistant Principal, Curriculum

Mr Lukas Silver

B.A, Dip. Ed, PGCE (School Leadership)

Lukas started his teaching career in inner-city London where he worked in schools with high levels of student poverty, deprivation and underachievement. He spent over a decade in London working as a senior consultant to improve teenage literacy and remove barriers to learning for all children. He believes that staff need to have very high expectations of every child so that their potential can be realised. Lukas joined the Alphington community in 2014.

Her passion for primary teaching is evident in everything she does, and her philosophy that learning is a lifelong pursuit is central to all that she brings to the Primary Years at Alphington Grammar. Tracey is the longest-serving member of our Senior Management Team, and has seen the School grow and develop enormously since she started at Alphington in 1996.
