My name is Carolyn Glover, and I am so excited to be joining you at Mirniyan Primary School in 2025.

 

You will find me at reception!

 

I have been working in primary schools for the past 10 years, working in Education Support in both classrooms and in the office.

 

On weekends I relax by walking my beautiful golden retriever and finding markets to wander through. I also love catching up with my friends.

 

I love to holiday with my family, which includes my 3 kids and husband, exploring new and interesting places around the world, especially countries with beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters!

 

I cannot wait to meet you in 2025!

 

 

My name is Jessie Twite and I am so excited to be a foundation staff member of Mirniyan Primary School! I believe working in education is a privilege and I am passionate about supporting each and every child on their learning journey.

 

In my free time, I can be found exploring the best coffee spots along the peninsula, reading or spending time with my family and friends. A summers day makes my heart sing! I love relaxing at the beach and attempting some stand up paddle boarding!

 

I look forward to meeting all of the students and families and working together to create a thriving, fun and engaging learning community!

 

 

 

My name is Lilli Cooper and I am absolutely thrilled to be a foundational staff member at Mirniyan Primary School. As I step into this vibrant new school community, I am filled with excitement and enthusiasm for the journey ahead. My passion for student voice drives my teaching philosophy, as I believe that every student has valuable perspectives that can shape their learning experience.

 

In my free time I love cooking up a storm in the kitchen, especially baking sugar cookies! I have a cheeky cat named ‘John Cena’, who I let my students name in 2021. I love reading a good book curled up with HER on the couch (obviously John Cena is a girl). I can’t wait to meet you all in 2025 and look forward to sharing my love of learning!

Hi everyone! I am beyond excited to be one of the foundation teaching staff members joining Mirniyan Primary School in 2025.

 

I have been working with children in an educational setting for over a decade, through a mixture of classroom teaching and outside school hours care.

I am passionate about teaching because it allows me to inspire and empower others to reach their potential while fostering a love for learning. Guiding students to develop critical thinking, creativity, and confidence is deeply fulfilling and motivates me to make a lasting impact on their lives.

 

Outside of the classroom I'm a mum to a beautiful boy and fur mum to Bailey our groodle. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going to the beach, exploring the outdoors, running festivals, reading books, and one of my favourite pastimes is finding hidden gems to eat and drink at.

I'm looking forward to meeting the Mirniyan school community and embarking on this exciting journey together!

 

Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Formby, and I am thrilled to be one of the founding teaching staff members at Mirniyan Primary School. I can't wait to meet each of you and embark on this incredible journey together in 2025!

My passion lies in fostering a love for learning and helping students discover their unique interests and potential. I’m committed to creating a vibrant and engaging learning environment for all.

 

Outside of school, I love my time with my four teenage boys and our Labradoodle, Ember. Summers at the beach are my favourite, especially when Ember joins me on my paddleboard! I also enjoy catching the latest movies at the cinema.

 

Here’s to an exciting year ahead filled with learning, growth, and fun!

 

I have been teaching for five years, and I am thrilled to begin this journey with Mirniyan Primary School. As I step into this new role, my goal is to create a supportive and innovative learning environment where every student feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential. I am a strong advocate for inclusivity and equity, committed to providing each child with the resources they need to succeed. This passion drives me, and I am eager to continue learning and growing in this area.

 

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy staying active and can often be found practicing my goal shooting and kicking on the netball and basketball courts or the football oval. I also love crocheting; I’m currently working on a blanket for my sister, which has been quite the project!

 

I am excited to embark on this incredible adventure with all of you and look forward to building a vibrant community together.

 

Hi, my name is Martine Ziino. I am thrilled to be a Foundation staff member of Mirniyan Primary School. I’ve been a teacher for over 26 years. I’m so excited to meet and create our school community with our students and families, and to contribute to and celebrate our students’ progress in their learning.

 

I enjoy reading and escaping into a book when time allows. I love to travel (I’m looking forward to a family holiday to Singapore and Bali over the Summer break), and I also love to spend time with my husband, 2 daughters and our crazy dog, Kalua.

 

I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new Arts teacher at Mirniyan Primary School for the upcoming year! I have a deep passion for creativity and can’t wait to explore the world of art with all of you.

 

A little about me: I live on a small farm with a variety of quirky animals, including sheep, ducks, chickens, and my playful Kelpie, Rory. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, painting, and going on travel adventures with family and friends. I truly believe that Art is a powerful way to express ourselves and connect with the world around us.

 

I look forward to embarking on this artistic journey together and can’t wait for an amazing year of colourful creativity!
