Ms Nada Zarac - Deputy Principal
Preschool - Kindergarten Executive
It is with great enthusiasm that I lead the Preschool and Kindergarten teams in 2024. I am committed to supporting teachers to design and deliver high quality, engaging teaching and learning programs that meet the diverse needs of our students. I have interests in curriculum design, inclusion and children’s literature. I have been working in the ACT Education Directorate since 1991 across all networks (Belconnen, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin, inner South and North) in teaching and leadership positions.
My additional interests are gardening, walking and talking, good coffee and coastal retreats. I also enjoy live theatre and the company of good-humoured people who love to laugh. I have two adult children who are currently contributing to valued careers in the health and Education systems and making their mum proud!
I look forward to working alongside you, your child and their teachers to create a wonderful, exciting year of achievement and reward.

Mr Samuel Langley

I pride myself on building a relationship with each and every child and letting them be themselves in my class. I have a passion for art so I'll always try to incorporate it in my lesson when possible. Combined with my love of music and plants, I believe I create an inviting space for my students to learn, not just about maths and literacy but also how to be them.
I'm super excited to get to know the students and help them along their learning journey!

Ms Sarah Hughes

G’day my name is Sarah and the students will know me as Miss Hughes or Miss Shoes (as I have quite a selection). As a ‘late entry’ teacher (one who has started their career later in life), I bring my other professional and personal experiences to the classroom, such as science and music. Engagement is my number one focus, it is great knowing that my teaching practises promote students wanting to be a willing participant in their learning everyday. Other professional highlights include teaching EAL/D students and directing a school choir.

Mrs Amandeep Kaur
KMIP1 - English teacher
I believe that all children hold distinctive qualities and strengths. Each child has a growth trajectory, and my aim is to build collaborative associations with families and learn about their aspirations for their children. My goal is to promote children's growth by creating inclusive, engaging, and strength-based environments.
I know three languages (English, Punjabi and Hindi). In my free time, I like to go for walks or read Punjabi literature.

I come from Victoria and am settling into Canberra. I enjoy watching children grow and develop and supporting them along the way. I did aerobic gymnastics for 8 years and I like to get active during my spare time.
