NMPS New and Returning Staff

Meet our New Education Support Staff

Tilly Hardy, Education Support

Hi everyone! I’m Tilly, I am excited to be with the NMPS community as an ES! I have been an ES for 1 year previously. I am also starting my studies of becoming a teacher mid year. When I’m not at school, you can find me DJing, finding the best schnitzel and gravy in Melbourne, going to the beach and listening to all different kinds of music and podcasts. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Leila Gorton, Education Support

Hello NMPS! I Am Leila, a new ES working across both campuses. I have recently moved to Australia from the UK, starting with a trip up the East Coast before moving to Melbourne. My favourite thing about Australia is the weather, as I write this it is 5 degrees in the UK, so it has been lovely to see the sun at this time of year.  When I am not enjoying the sun, I enjoy watching the soccer and have picked Melbourne Victory as my team to support! I have had a great first few weeks of term, it has been so lovely to meet so many of you and I look forward to the rest of the year. 

Simone McGennisken, Auslan Teacher

Hi everyone! My name is Simone and I am thrilled to be your new Auslan teacher at the P-2 Campus this year. This is my first year of teaching after my career change from film, TV and music, so you better believe that I’m an entertainer through and through! My passions range from piano and singing to photography, from drawing and writing to collecting ukuleles, from playing with my niece to begrudgingly losing Mah-jong. There’s not much I don’t like or won’t try (except camping, blah!). I can’t wait to get to know all 400+ of you this year!
