Who's Who

School Structure

Our school is structured into three collaborative learning communities: Junior School (Prep - Year 4), Middle School (Year 3-8) and Senior School (Year 7-Year 12). Within these communities, staff and classes work in smaller collaborative Professional Learning Teams (PLTs) led by an Assistant Learning Specialist (PLT Leader). For 2025 these are:

Junior School Leadership

• Meggan Decker (Leading Teacher)
• Chloe Dennis - PLT Leader, Foundation (Prep-2)
• Justin Amato - PLT Leader, Lower Primary (Years 3-4)

Middle School Leadership

• Kathy Pham (Leading Teacher)
• Uzer Coskuner - PLT Leader, Upper Primary (Years 5-6)
• Aaron Nguyen - PLT Leader, Lower Secondary (Years 7-8)

Senior School Leadership

• Helena McAloon (Leading Teacher)
• Taleisha Elston (PLT Leader), Upper Secondary (Years 9-10)
• Jo Portelli - PLT Leader (ASDAN)

• Ben Everson - PLT Leader, Specialists (Prep-Year 12)

To develop a strong home-school partnership, Parents/Carers main point of contact for school communication should be your child's classroom teacher. This can be through SeeSaw, by phone (leave a message at the school office), or by appointment (SSGs can be booked through the school office). The whole school's communication will continue to be sent out through Xuno email and SMS notifications. Our staff and students are supported by many learning and wellbeing staff who work outside of the classroom. Each collaborative learning community has a Leading Teacher who supports teachers with the day-to-day student coordination and is the second point of contact for families regarding your child's health and wellbeing. PLT Leaders lead the professional learning of their teams focused around teaching and learning.
