Meet The Teachers

St Bridget’s is a warm and welcoming community where every child and family is known. The community of St Bridget’s is an extension of my own family and I feel a sense of belonging and connectedness. As Principal I feel privileged to lead this school and I’m excited about our future. Outside of school I enjoy walking to keep fit and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I love working at St. Bridget’s Primary school because of our unique boutique size, culture, caring staff and strong community which forms our vibrant working environment, led by a strong and engaging Principal. My role is interesting, rewarding and challenging but provides me with satisfaction. Students are encouraged to show respect, tolerance and compassion and to be Strong and Courageous, which is our school motto.
Students over all year levels are involved in Art, Italian, Music, PE,
swimming programs and carnivals, various sporting programs, choir, instrumental lessons, lunchtime chess and STEM program. Apart from teaching provided in class, the variety of activities offered to our students is wide.
I love being with my family and friends and playing tennis.

I absolutely love working at St Bridget’s. I have taught here for the last 13 years and my children all attended school here. We have a beautiful welcoming community that cares for each other like a big family. The big grounds, the chickens and the companion dog give it a warm country like feel. On the weekends I love spending quality time with my friends and family.

I love the warm community feel that comes with working in a small school like St Bridget’s. It’s a special thing to be able to get to know all students so well as it develops strong relationships between teacher and student, as well as fostering school and home partnerships. When I’m not teaching I love to read and engage in creative activities, such as painting.

I love teaching at St Bridget’s and have been here for many years. At St Bridget’s we are a trusting staff and have pride in our school. This is reflected in our work ethic where we always give our personal best and we work together as a team to achieve our objectives. I am really excited about our new initiatives in teaching Inquiry (Humanities and Science) through Italian and I look forward to the future. I love to travel around the world and I am looking forward to new experiences.

 Hi I am Tom. I have been at St. Bridget’s since 2018. I love teaching the students at St Bridget’s because of the conversations we have and the great activities we do. There is always something new to learn. In my spare time I see a lot of movies and read a lot of books.

I am so excited to be joining the team at St. Bridget’s!

I consider myself a life-long learner and feel incredibly privileged to be an educator and learn alongside children and other passionate educators every day!

My husband and I have two children, Luke and Abby. In our spare time we love to go on adventures and try new things.  We are very passionate about our sport especially AFL, Netball and Basketball.

I love the size of the school. With a smaller number of students you really get to know them. The staff is a close knit group. It feels like a country school in the middle of the city.

As a staff member of nearly twenty years, St Bridget’s is truly the place to be.  I love working with those children who need a little more attention and seeing them grow and learn. Outside of school I love being with my family and being creative.

I joined the team at St Bridget’s in mid 2020 and it is an absolute privilege to work in such a caring, family-like environment. I love working alongside the Junior school teachers to best support students who may require a little more assistance. I am also very lucky to run Skipping Clubs during selected Breaks. Children from P-6 are given the chance to perfect skills & then perform routines at school events. In my spare time I love walking my dachshund Jax & also enjoy spending time at the footy with the whole family. Go Dees! 

One of the things I love most about working at St Bridget’s is the caring and welcoming nature of its staff and students. My daughters who completed their final years in this school, still continue to feel a sense of belonging! My role here enables me to empower my students with the necessary skills to support their learning. In my spare time, I enjoy catching up with friends and family or going on walks.

In 2022, I joined the St Bridget’s community. I enjoy working with the students and seeing them grow and develop as they gain more confidence. I love the sense of belonging and community spirit at St Bridget’s. Outside of school I enjoy taking my dog Rosie for walks and spending time with family and friends.

From the moment I walked through the front gate of St. Bridget’s, I felt welcome and at home. The staff and students here are so warm and caring. The staff are supportive of one another and the students are super friendly. I enjoy being part of the St. Bridget’s community and look forward to providing support and encouragement to students and watching them grow and develop. In my spare time I love cooking, hanging out with my family and friends and playing with my two mini sausage dogs.
