New staff introductions

Welcome to:

Tom Gosling

My name is Tom Gosling, and I am working in the Year 1 team this year. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the first few weeks at NMPS and working with my class 1C. I have been teaching for 12 years. The last 7 years I had been working at Windsor Primary School, but before that I taught in Broome in The Kimberley and Alice Springs. I live in Richmond with my beautiful wife, 2 little children and 2 cheeky schnoodles. I come from a large family, 7 siblings plus Mum and Dad. I am a lover of AFL (Go Tiges) and the great outdoors; I look forward to crossing paths with you all and immersing myself in life at NMPS in 2023!

Georgie Maher

Hi everyone - my name is Georgie and I am so excited to be teaching Year 4 this year! While I grew up in Ballarat, I have been living in Melbourne for eight years and love to spend time exploring the cafés and restaurants around Kensington. If I'm not doing this, I love to run, do yoga, knit, and read. I'm looking forward to a great year - please come and say hello if you see me around!

Hayley Pupetti

Hello! I'm teaching the legends of 5D this year and I am really excited to be a part of the NMPS community!

I have been teaching in Country Victoria for the past couple of years and am happy to call Melbourne home again. I love overindulging in Japanese food and pasta of all forms, creating paintings and watching Collingwood win lots of games. 

I have been welcomed so warmly by staff, students and parents and look forward to getting to know everyone more. 

Kristy Saint-Clair

I completed my teacher education at the University of Sydney and was previously at Woollahra Public School. I've also worked within non-government and specialist schools. I have a particular interest in arts and gifted education, and currently teach performing arts and year six. Professionally, I am passionate about designing individualised learning resources and applying evidence-informed educational strategies. Outside of school, I enjoy ballet, travel, reading and time in nature. 

Joanne Willison

Hello, my name is Joanne. You will find me at work in the Front Office & First Aid room. My favourite season of the year is Summer, I prefer the warmer weather to the cold winter. I really love my morning walk before work and enjoy listening to Podcasts along the way. True Crime are my favourite. I am excited about what this year will bring.

Nick Sell

I have recently completed my Masters of Primary teaching at Melbourne University. Previous to my studies I have been working as an agricultural consultant within the organic farming industry. I have a passion for education and have worked closely with schools and local governments to improve their biodiversity and limit the input of harmful chemicals.

Outside of education I enjoy sewing, camping and almost any sport I can get involved in. Looking to 2023, I look forward to connecting with students personal interests and helping students reach their full potential in our classroom!

Georgina Aquilina

Hello everyone! I am Georgina, one of the new Year Four teachers. I worked at Biz-E-Kids before stepping foot in the classroom, so I am excited to be back at NMPS and to see some familiar faces around.

Over the past four years, I have been a classroom teacher and an Art teacher at a few different schools. I love animals (especially my pets), nature, and anything creative; drawing, sewing, gardening, and cooking.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you throughout the year.
