At Santa Maria College, we believe in nurturing not only the academic growth of our students but also their emotional and psychological wellbeing. 

Together, Katrina and Milly form an extraordinary team dedicated to fostering a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for the students of Santa Maria College. Their diverse expertise and unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of our students are integral in helping them flourish academically, emotionally, and personally. We invite you to get to know them better as they continue to make a positive impact on the lives of our students every day.

Katrina Campbell-Sloan
College Pyschologist

Katrina is a Provisional Psychologist with a Master’s in Professional Psychology. She joined Santa Maria College as College Psychologist in 2026 and feels privileged to work alongside students, families, and staff to support the social, emotional, and learning needs of our students. Katrina’s background is a little unconventional. Before pursuing psychology, she completed degrees and had careers in both the arts and education, with a particular focus on acting, voice work and the visual arts. These experiences continue to influence her work today, helping her connect with young people in creative and meaningful ways.
 
Alongside her role at Santa Maria, Katrina teaches voice to gifted and talented students at John Curtin College of the Arts and supports young performers in managing performance anxiety. She has also worked with adolescents and young adults in inpatient mental health settings at Perth Children’s Hospital and Bentley Health Service, experiences that strengthened her commitment to helping young people navigate life’s challenges and discover their strengths.
 
“At Santa Maria, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive environment where students feel heard, valued, and empowered to thrive. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me planning my next travel adventure with my husband and two children, searching for a new outfit for our rescue kitten (yes, really!), or enjoying a beachside sauna with friends.”

Milly Birchmore
College Counsellor

Milly Birchmore is our College Counsellor (Bachelor of Behavioural Science, Master of Counselling, PACFA registered) who is passionate about supporting young people to navigate challenges they may face with confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.
