About Celeste Pryke

I’m an experienced international educator with 18 years of teaching across Australia, China, and Malaysia. I am currently teaching Humanities at Dulwich College Suzhou, delivering Geography, Business, and Economics to students in Key Stage 4, along with Humanities in Key Stage 3.Throughout my career, I have taught a wide range of subjects including Mathematics, Geography, History, Global Politics, Global Perspectives, Indigenous Studies, and Commerce, while leading diverse curriculum and co-curricular initiatives. My strength lies in designing engaging, inclusive programs that foster student growth both inside and beyond the classroom. I hold a Master of Inclusive Education, and I bring this ethos into every learning environment, ensuring that all students can access and enjoy meaningful learning.As Head of Humanities in Malaysia and previously Head of Geography in China, I led curriculum innovation, launched new IGCSE subjects, mentored teachers, and saw student enrolments and achievement grow significantly. I’ve also presented at national teacher conferences, assessed external examinations, and led major fieldwork and service-learning expeditions across Asia and Australia.I’m deeply committed to developing global citizens through experiential learning, outdoor education, and programs like the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. I’ve trained as an Award Leader and take pride in guiding students through these life-shaping experiences.Above all, I value collaboration, professional growth, and culturally responsive practice. I’m always eager to connect with educators and leaders who are passionate about inspiring the next generation through dynamic, purposeful education.
