Hi my name is Jasmine Zunica and I will be teaching Year 5 this year! This will be my third year teaching Year 5 and I am so excited to be at Clyde Primary School. I am looking forward

getting to know each student. A few little things about myself: I am engaged to my fiancé Alex of 9 years and we will be getting married in January 2023! We have a dog named Cooper who is a Spoodle and is extremely spoilt. I am a very passionate Richmond supporter and will go to all the games. I have played basketball since I was 5 years old and retired at the age of 23. I have also coached under 12s and 14s girls’ and boys’ teams which was so much fun. My favourite hobby is to read a good book or to bake my famous caramel slice for my friends and family. If you see me around, please feel free to say hello and introduce yourself! I look forward to meeting you all

My name is Jacqui Hoiles, and I am very excited to be given the opportunity to work as an Education Support in Year 1 at Clyde Primary this year. For the past 24 years I have worked in early education being in my last role for 11 years in Beaconsfield. One of my greatest gifts in life is being a mother to my 12 year old daughter who is off to high school this year. My

hobbies are going to the gym, and I love watching my Richmond Tigers win. My biggest passion in life is working with children, supporting their learning and wellbeing. I also love watching and celebrating their achievements along the way. I am looking forward to meeting and working collaboratively with the Year 1 team and the Clyde community… can’t wait to meet you all.

Hello, my name is Miss Chand and I am excited to be teaching Foundation B this year.

I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education in primary and early childhood.

My passion is helping children to reach their full potential whilst ensuring positive emotional wellbeing. On the weekends, I enjoy cosying up with a book and my puppy.
