2025 Year 4

4A: Delani Cruse (Team Leader)

Hello SMPS students and families! 

My name is Miss Delani and I can’t wait to see you all again in 2025. This will be my ninth year of teaching and I have previously taught Grade 3, Prep and Grade 4. This year at SMPS I will be teaching 4A again and I cannot wait! 

When I am not at school you will probably find me running around the Tan or the lake. In 2024, my biggest achievement was qualifying for the Boston Marathon. I am going to the USA in April to take part in the race and I hope I can get a PB! 

When I’m not running, you will probably find me reading a book at the beach or eating pasta at different restaurants around Melbourne with my friends. During the footy season you will see me wearing my Carlton scarf and hopefully celebrating lots more wins and maybe even a premiership in 2025! Go Blues!! 

I can’t wait for 2025, it is going to be a fantastic year. 

4B: Camilla Ong

Greetings, wonderful SMPS community,

I am thrilled to introduce myself as Miss Camilla, your Year 4 teacher for the upcoming school year in 2025. This is going to be my second year of teaching at SMPS . I am eager to connect with my new class and their families as we dive into a year filled with exciting learning experiences.

I grew up in sunny Singapore with my parents and two older sisters. My childhood was full of sunshine, spent swimming and beach outings. In 2019, I came to Melbourne, where I pursued my studies at the University of Melbourne. On another note, I am a mom to a ginger cat named Meechum, whom I adopted over a year ago. Beyond the classroom, you'll often find me going for Pilates, trying new foods and going on road trips. I love travelling and I was lucky enough to have visited Korea and Japan this year.

I have had a great time teaching in 4B this year. With great enthusiasm, I anticipate another fantastic year ahead at SMPS, filled with growth, discovery, and memorable moments.

4C: Alysse Pirovano

Hello everyone, my name is Miss Alysse. Next year will be my 5th year teaching at SMPS. I am so excited to be teaching Year 4 in 2025.

When I’m not at SMPS teaching the best students in the universe, you can find me reading, cooking, going to Pilates and catching up with friends. I also love spending time relaxing with family up in Yarrawonga during the holidays. I love travelling and exploring new places whenever I get the chance.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday. I am looking forward to a spectacular year getting to know you and your families!
