Mrs Liz Bujaroski
Year 3 - 4 Executive Teacher
I’m delighted to continue leading the Year 3 and Year 4 cohorts this year. Creating a positive, supportive learning environment where every student feels safe, valued and ready to learn remains at the heart of what I do. Outside of school, I’ve been learning the art of gardening (with mixed success!), proudly supporting Manchester United and hoping for a stronger season ahead, and enjoying walks with my much-loved family and dog. I’m really looking forward to another wonderful year of learning, growth and connection with our students and families.

In my role as a Highly Accomplished Teacher, my classroom is a vibrant and inclusive learning environment that fosters both academic growth and wellbeing. Beyond the classroom, you'll often find me enjoying the outdoors, whether it's walking or indulging in my love for stand-up paddleboarding with my dog and family. I am a passionate teacher and look forward to the opportunity to support your children through their learning journey.

Ms Esther Chen
3MIP2 Mandarin teacher
Every student is unique, with their own strengths and needs. Living in different countries over the past 16 years has given me deep exposure to diverse cultures. This experience enables me to foster a sense of belonging for students and create a culturally responsive and inclusive classroom. Beyond teaching, I’m also a professional barista—so I’m quite particular about my coffee! You’ll likely find me at the gym, experimenting in the kitchen, or enjoying a good anime during the weekend and holidays.

I am originally from the Maldives, then Adelaide. Some of my favourite things are spending time with my family, travelling, going to the beach, reading, listening to music and watching fantasy shows. I am passionate about public education and giving each child the opportunity to learn at their own pace. I am excited about teaching year 4 again and to have some of the students I previously taught back in my class! I look forward to working together with families to help my students become independent thinkers and learners.
