Meet our Teachers 

I am absolutely thrilled to be joining St Martin of Tours school and parish community, and I know I am coming to a place of welcome, care and a desire to provide a safe and engaging learning experience for the students. My main goal as I begin is to get to know the students, their parents and families, and the members of the parish. It will be a fair task to learn this many names, but I am ready for the challenge! I am truly blessed to be joining such a strong and vibrant community.

I count my blessings every day that I get to lead an amazing dedicated staff and instil a great love of learning and a love of Jesus within our students. What brings me joy is watching my boys play football on a cold winter’s day and spending time in the Victorian great outdoors.

As the Student Wellbeing Leader my focus is continuing to build a learning environment where our students feel safe, build positive relationships and are engaged in learning that helps them to flourish as young independent people. Our whole school focus is to instill in our students positive behaviours that are guided by the life of Jesus as our model.

I love learning and my passion lies in supporting students to be the best they can be. I work with an amazing staff and a supportive parent community. It is a privilege to work across the school in many different capacities. Outside of school my passion is cooking and I consider myself a bit of a ‘foodie’. Learning spanish has been fun too!

I love being part of the warm and inclusive St Martin’s community. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing students find their flow through reading a good fit book or exploring their creative potential in Art. It’s a privilege to work in our amazing Library  instilling in our students a love of literacy and supporting them to find books that engage and excite them as readers.

I have been a part of the St Martin’s community for over ten years. I am passionate about instilling a love of learning in all students using an inquiry approach. I love to travel and explore new places; which led me to teach in London for two school years.

St Martin of Tours welcomes Renee as our Numeracy Leader.

I have begun my teaching career this year at SMOT and I feel so lucky to have joined such a wonderful community. I love being a part of each student’s school journey and strive to create an environment that fosters a love for learning. When I am not teaching you will find me spending time with my family and friends or watching some of my favourite TV series.

As a parent at SMOT I most valued relationships developed with teachers, parents and children. Now, as a teacher at SMOT it is nurturing these wonderful relationships between parents, teachers and children, that I still highly value. I also cherish spending time with my family and friends.

I am thrilled to be part of St Martin’s this year! I am absolutely loving being the proud teacher of Prep and being a part of the beginning of their schooling journey. As a past student myself, I am forever drawn back to the amazing culture of the St Martin’s community! I would like to thank all of the staff, students and families for making me feel so welcomed and am so excited for what is to come!

Since beginning at the school in 2019, I have felt very privileged to be a part of the St Martin’s community.

I am grateful to be part of such a welcoming and supportive community here at St Martin’s. As a teacher, I love watching students learn and grow through new experiences. Outside of school I love to read, travel and see live bands.

St Martin of Tours welcomes Natalie to the Year 1 Team

I love the moments in teaching where you see your students grow, not only academically, but emotionally and socially too. Being part of the St Martin’s Community is a blessing as the staff, students and families make it a special place. I enjoy being active and spending time with family and friends.

I am blessed to be working with great supportive people at St. Martin’s who enjoy a laugh and challenge me as a learner. I am passionate about teaching and seeing the students grow as individuals. I cherish spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy the outdoors like going on picnics, bush walking, the beach, snow skiing and travelling.

I love reading! My passion is instilling a love of reading in students and supporting them to achieve their potential. I am blessed to be able to work with the amazing staff and parents of St Martins. I am an ardent Cat supporter and I love spending every moment I can with my little granddaughter.

It’s a great feeling belonging to the St Martin’s community. Students and Staff are warm, friendly and welcoming. Everybody comes together to enjoy School events and support each other in their learning.

I am very excited to be part of the St Martin’s community.

I have been warmly welcomed into the St Martin’s community this year and I look forward to getting to know everyone. I share a classroom with Annie Jenkins, who I have known and taught with for many years. My family and I follow the Saints and we love going to the footy and supporting them. I enjoy pottering around in the garden and feel most relaxed at the beach and reading a good book.

I am very blessed to be part of the St Martin’s Community. I love learning and teaching and have taught for a long time. I share the classroom with Giulia Costa whom I have known and taught with for years. I particularly love my big extended family, my dogs, music, singing, writing, dancing,walking and spending quality time with family and friends.

St Martin of Tours welcomes Meaghan to the Year 3 Team

I have thoroughly enjoyed the beginning of my life at St Martin’s. I appreciate how welcoming and loving all the staff and children are. While at school I treasure all the moments I have with my class and with other students around St Martin’s. Outside of school most of my time is spent either watching or playing sports, listening to music or chilling out with my mates. Go tiges.

I am excited to be working at St Martin’s this year and thank everyone for making me feel so welcome! It has been lovely to meet so many new faces and I look forward to meeting you all throughout the year. I have been teaching for the last 6 years and have a passion for creating a fun, safe and collaborative working environment for all. I look forward to working with the Year Four’s this year and we have already had a wonderful start together. I love to cook and try new food, read and enjoy visiting new places on the holidays. I am looking forward to working with this beautiful community throughout the year!

It has been an absolute pleasure to get to know all the amazing staff and students at SMOT and I have been welcomed with open arms so far. I have been teaching for around five years and have such a passion for teaching and watching learners grow. I am married, have a beautiful daughter named Hazel and two cute blue staffies named Teddy and Luna. I am so excited to be teaching Year 4’s this year and am looking forward to a fun, exciting and educational year of learning. I can’t wait to get to know more about each of you throughout the year. Please come and say hi if you see me around the school, I love to get to know new people!

Getting lost in a good book is something that I love, even as an adult. Finding that good fit book that you can’t put down and instilling a life-long love of reading in all our students is something I strive for. We are so fortunate to have such a well-resourced and beautiful space in the Library where students and families are welcome at any time of day.

St Martin of Tours welcomes Aspasia to the Year 4 Team.

I’m so excited to be working and learning alongside the wonderful teaching staff and students at SMOT. I have been working for several years within the primary school setting, but when I’m at home I am running my two daughters to their many dancing classes and spending time with my husband going to musicals and theater shows. In my spare time I like to play the piano and read books (Potter heads and Hobbits are always welcome for a chat). I can’t wait to get to know everyone more as the year progresses.

I am excited to be at St Martin’s. The best part about my job is being able to help students achieve their goals, as well as build their confidence. Outside of work I love to spend time with family and friends, play tennis, go on walks, explore different cuisines, go away on holidays and watch my children play sport.

I have a love for all things Mathematical and fun and bringing the two together is a passion of mine. I’m blessed to be a part of the St. Martins community and when I’m not at school my world revolves around the three beautiful ladies in my life.

It has been a wonderful start to the year so far getting to know the community of St Martin’s and I am feeling very fortunate to have been warmly welcomed by all the staff, students and families. I have been teaching for the last 6 years and along that journey I have welcomed my two beautiful girls that keep me busy on my non-working days. Along with my girls, I have a Golden Retriever named Louie who loves all the cuddles and pats he can get from anyone we walk past. I am really looking forward to getting to know you all this year and looking forward to seeing you around the school community.

I have been part of this community for 21 years, originally as a parent of three boys and more recently as the Learning Diversity Leader. In my role I predominately support students with diverse needs. I’m a huge fan of the Pies as are my husband, boys and our spoodle Cosmo. I am truly blessed to be part of this community and I love getting to know and build relationships with all its members.

I am so fortunate to be working in such a beautiful and welcoming community at SMOT. I have been teaching for many years and I love building positive and supportive relationships with our students and their families. I am married and have 3 beautiful daughters. My twin daughters are starting uni, so 2024 is a year of exciting new beginnings for our family! I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all this year so please come and say hi if you see me!

St Martin’s is a great place to be.   It has a warm and welcoming environment enabling children and parents to be active members of the community.  

Evviva l’italiano! I love all things Italian and look forward to sharing my passion for Italy and its culture with the students here at St. Martin’s. I aim to promote a love of language learning in my students-not just the Italian language but a love of all languages. In my spare time I enjoy walking, reading and spending time at the beach with my husband and three teenage children.

For children, art is the place to go where there is no wrong answer; instead, there is the question ‘what else is possible?’ I believe teaching Art keeps my spirit young and fresh as I accompany and celebrate the children’s creative expressions.

St Martin’s welcomes Fiona to the role of Library Technician.

I have worked at SMOT for 21 years and my 4 children attended St Martins so I was also  a parent here for 15 years.  I feel very lucky to have a job that I love, I enjoy working with and nurturing all the children who come under my care.

I have worked at St. Martins for 13 years. I love the community and the staff are my second family. It’s a privilege working with and getting to know the students. My two sons went to St. Martins and have many fond memories. I love family gatherings, singing and zumba.

I began my journey at St Martin’s 20 years ago when both my boys were students.  Thirteen years ago I joined the staff and I feel very privileged to call my passion my profession; helping children learn, grow and develop.  I love reading, cooking, travelling and going to the beach.

I started my journey with St. Martins in 2019. I’m incredibly fortunate to have a job I love, amazing and supportive colleagues and a beautiful community I’m now part of. Outside of school I cherish sharing my love of live music, playing guitar and basketball with my family.

I have worked at St Martin’s for almost 3 years now and I can say it has been a wonderful journey so far. I love supporting and being a part of the students’ learning which makes my job as an LSO so rewarding.  I enjoy spending quality time with my family, going to the footy, being creative and cooking.

Being part of the St. Martin’s family over the last couple of years has been rewarding and an absolute pleasure to be a part of. My passion is working with children to assist in their development and growth. I love spending time with my family going to the football, basketball and most of all spending time at the beach.

I am honoured and privileged to be a part of the St Martin’s community. Whilst I have only recently joined the admin team, I was a parent of St Martin’s for 10 years. I feel we as a staff have a genuine sense of welcoming and we are all passionate about our students, their education and wellbeing. I cherish spending time with my family and friends and going on holidays.

I have had the privilege of working at St Martin’s for 16 years.  Over all those years, I can safely say that it never feels like coming to work as we have a fantastic staff and school community.  Every year I love meeting our precious preppies and always feel sad farewelling our Year 6 students.  Although not in a teaching role I am passionate about making the children feel welcome and safe when coming to the school office and for being a welcoming place for parents and visitors as well. I love to travel and spend time with family and friends.

I am lucky enough to have been part of St Martins for over 20 years. It is like a big family. The staff care for each other and I loved seeing so many children begin and end their journey here and they brighten up each day.  I enjoy travelling, going to the movies, cooking and sharing meals with family and friends, walking my dog and dancing.
