Meet our newest recruits at MPPS

Mitchell McClure

My name is Mitchell, and I am very excited to introduce myself as the new 3/4D classroom teacher.

A little about me—I've been teaching in Maryborough, Victoria for the past six years, and I am thrilled to be joining the Middle Park community. The warm welcome I have already received from the students has made the transition a wonderful experience, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone throughout the year.

Outside of school, I enjoy staying active and playing a variety of sports, particularly AFL and cricket. I am excited to bring my enthusiasm for learning, teamwork, and community into the classroom and to support all students in achieving their best.

I look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Ella Folkard

Hi everyone! My name is Ella, and I’m excited to be joining the Middle Park Primary School community. I recently made the move from Auckland, New Zealand, and after nearly 10 years of teaching, I’m looking forward to the opportunity to teach in a new country and learn from a new school community. Outside of school, I love travelling, exploring new places, and spending time on the water with friends and family whenever I can. I’m really looking forward to getting to know our students, families and the wider Middle Park community over the coming months.

Clarrisa Compagnoni

Hello! I'm Clarissa, and I'm delighted to be joining the Middle Park Primary School community as your School Nurse.

Originally from Brazil, I worked as a doctor and paediatrician before moving to Australia 18 years ago. I'm passionate about supporting children's health and wellbeing and look forward to helping our students feel safe, healthy and cared for at school.

I am a mum to two boys, one of whom attends MPPS. I'm excited to be part of the school community and can't wait to meet all of the students and families!
