Prep

Prep A: Mak Bulte (Team Leader)

Hello South Melbourne Primary School Community, my name is Miss Mak. I am a Grade Prep Teacher for 2023 and cannot wait to welcome all of our new families to our wonderful community. 

I am Melbourne born and bred and love calling this wonderful city home. Outside of the classroom I like to take trips to the beach and spend time with my brother and sisters. You will commonly find me going for an early morning swim or body surf. I love playing all types of sport, but my favourite is Netball. I have played since I was in Prep and I am still enjoying it today. If I am not running around playing sport, I am most likely enjoying some quality time with family.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in 2023 and having another phenomenal year of fun, learning and adventures at SMPS. 

Prep B: James Lucas

Hello South Melbourne Primary School families! My name is Mr James. I will continue as a Prep teacher at sensational SMPS in 2023 and I am excited to see all of you for a wonderful year of learning and fun! 

I have lived in Melbourne my entire life and couldn’t think of a better place to call home. When I’m not teaching, I love to spend my time outdoors playing sport or just enjoying the sunshine with friends. I enjoy reading all sorts of books and love to share my passion for literature with my students. I especially love to put on silly voices while reading aloud so get ready for some fun story times! 

I can’t wait to meet all the new superstars soon as well as seeing my Preps from last year starting their Grade 1 journey. Let’s all work together to make it the best year ever!

Prep C: Ben Corns

Hello, South Melbourne Primary School Community! My name is Mr Ben. I am a Grade Prep Teacher for 2023 and I am excited to see all of you for a wonderful year of learning and fun!

I have spent most of my life in Marvellous Melbourne and I feel incredibly lucky to call it home. Outside of the classroom, I like to act like a monkey with my nieces and nephews, sing and dance with my friends and head to the beach to make giant sandcastles! I really enjoy seeing live performances such as musicians, actors or even scientists that talk about outer space! 

I look forward to meeting lots of new faces and catching up with familiar ones in 2023. Let’s make it the best year ever at South Melbourne Primary School.
