Parent Representatives

Linda Rayment

Hello, my name is Linda, and I’m excited to be one of your ELC Parent Reps this year. I’m married to Luke, and we have two gorgeous kids; Max (Year 1) and Lola (Preschool ELC). We are originally from Melbourne and moved to Adelaide at the start of 2020. We absolutely love Emmaus and feel extremely blessed to have found such a wonderful school.
Prior to having children, I worked as a lawyer specialising in family law and in the anti-human trafficking space.
My husband and I are part of the team at Edge Church and we’re passionate about Jesus and people, and seeing them flourish in every area of their lives.
We love having fun together as a family and enjoy all sorts of sport and music, and spending time outdoors.
I can’t wait to meet you soon!
