Introducing.....

Ms Kristen Mazzoletti-ELC

Hello Hillsmeade Families!

My name is Kristen and I am the new 3 year old teacher with the Echidna Group at Hillsmeade Preschool. I’m so excited to join the Hillsmeade community, as I have been made to feel so welcome by all the staff, families and children.

 I spend weekends with my large family and lovely husband and my 2 beautiful fur babies Isla and Ginny.

Mr Adam Wright -Year 1C

Hi, I'm Adam Wright.  I have been teaching for 24 years and 18 of those were teaching in London.  I have been a CRT teacher at Hillsmeade for many years and was thrilled to be asked to work full-time from October of last year.  I love travelling, theatre, dining out and the tennis.  I'm super excited to be teaching my amazing year one students. 

Come and see us in 1C!

Ms Ashleigh Mashado -Year 5B

Hi, my name is Ashleigh!

I’m a first-year teacher in class 5B, and I’m so excited to be part of the Hillsmeade community. At 25 years old, I bring a fresh perspective and a passion for watching children grow and achieve their milestones. Before teaching, I worked as a nanny, which fuelled my love for helping kids thrive. I enjoy staying active, particularly through Pilates. This year is especially special for me as I’m getting married at the start of next year. If you see me around, please say hi—I’d love to chat!

Ms Renee Howe -Year 4

Hello! My name is Miss Howe, and I’m thrilled to be teaching Year 4 this year at Hillsmeade Primary School. This is my very first year of teaching, and I’m so excited to be part of this wonderful school community!

I am passionate about helping students grow, both academically and personally, and creating a safe, welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported. I believe that every student has something special to offer, and I can't wait to see all of you shine.

Outside of the classroom, I’ve played netball my whole life, and I absolutely love everything about health and fitness. I believe it’s important to stay active and take care of ourselves, both in body and mind.

I’m looking forward to a fun-filled year ahead, full of learning, laughter, and amazing memories!

Mr JarrydFoster-PE 

Hey there! My name is Mr Foster, and I've been teaching for 9 years. This year is my first time teaching P.E, and I'm excited to dive into it!

I’m passionate about sport, still playing cricket and golf, and I enjoy hitting the gym most nights. I also have a 20-month-old son, who’s a bundle of joy and keeps me on my toes.

If you see me around the yard during recess and lunch, feel free to come and say hi!

Brigette Cruickshank-PE 

After taking time off to welcome my first child, I’m thrilled to be back doing what I love —teaching and promoting an active lifestyle. This year I’m going to be one of the new PE teachers, teaching alongside Mr. Cole every Wednesday.

Sport and fitness have always been a big part of my life, and I’m passionate about helping students develop their skills and confidence in PE. Hillsmeade has always felt like a fantastic community, and I’m looking forward to being part of it again.

Can’t wait to see you all in the gym and out on the field!
