Staff Introductions

Kristin Sardellis

Hi, I'm Kristin. This is my third year at St John's and I am currently working in the Year 5/6 classrooms. 

I enjoy spending time with family, baking and playing sports in my spare time. As a pre-service teacher, I love working at St Johns where I have the opportunity to explore my full potential and learn from the best teachers every single day! 

Maria Wallis

Hi, my name is Maria Wallis and I have been working part-time in the office and in the library at St John's for nearly two years.

I enjoy being able to liaise with students, their families, my fellow staff as well as visitors to the school.

I am fortunate that I have been part of the St John's School community both originally as a parent, and now as a member of staff.

Away from school, I enjoy spending time relaxing with my family whether it be at home or away.  I also love the challenge of immersing myself in a tricky jigsaw puzzle.

Verona Gridley

Hello, my name is Verona Gridley and this is my fifth year as principal at our beautiful school St John's. It is a priviledge to lead our school community and support our students to flourish in every way. In my spare time I love to travel, go camping, do bushwalks and go bike riding. I love to sing and dance and spend time with my husband, children and big extended family. I have a dog named Ollie who loves to go on long walks with me too. I enjoy spending time in my native garden and observing the birdlife and wildlife that thrives there.
