The BNPS Team
We have an exemplary team of staff who collectively contribute to the care and education of all students and each other on a daily basis. I would sincerely like to thank everyone for their ongoing professionalism and commitment to every aspect of school life at Beaumaris North Primary School throughout 2019.
Our Leadership Team
Our school is led by a team of highly skilled professionals who meet on a regular basis to lead and drive the many changes that occur in our school year after year. I would like to sincerely thank my two very special Assistant Principals, Moira Simpson and Robyn Morecroft, whose countless skills and attributes have contributed equally to the leadership, management and running of our school. The compassion, care and support given to myself and us all is something else.
To the Leading Teachers, Brent Plowright, Debbie Murnane, Grant Rounsley, Jo Taylor and Mat Doran-Brown, thank you for your ongoing support throughout 2019.
In addition to managing specific portfolios, our Leading Teachers are mentors and coaches to all staff members.
Teaching Staff
To the Teaching staff, thank you for your outstanding work in providing the best education possible for our students. The primary years of schooling are the foundation for all future educational expectations.
From preparing lessons, planning curriculum, marking homework, preparing Learning Task feedback, attending meetings and completing required professional development to providing Lunch Clubs, managing student committees, mentoring students and attending school camps. Then there are parent-teacher interviews, extra-curricular activity planning and Semester Reports – much of which is done outside of the teaching day.
In addition to organising events and activities for the whole school, our Specialist Teachers have gone above and beyond in providing extra-curricular programs for our students from extension groups, competitions, special performances and staff vs student games.
Teaching Assistants
To our amazing team of Teaching Assistants, Jenny Baird, Kerryn Meredith, Jenny Marashli, Natalie Venuto, Janine Nelson and Annie Thomas. Thank you for the outstanding support you provide to the students (and their families) in your care.
Our Casual Replacement Teachers (CRTs)
We have a wonderful team of regular CRTs who adapt willingly to all roles and responsibilities at our school. I would like to sincerely thank Anna Holmes, Shirley Kelly, Kaye Parker and Deb Ball for supporting our teaching teams throughout 2019.
