Educator
Hi, my name is Molly. I am thrilled to continue being part of the beautiful St John’s community in 2023!
I have the pleasure of learning alongside our amazing children in Hub 3 with Jenna, Thushari and Erin. I believe in the importance of enabling children to use their passions while learning and exploring their whole self. Children have the right to a safe and motivating space, where they can take risks and build confidence in themselves as lifelong learners.
I have grown up and live in the local area and am a lover of all things chocolate, plants, sloths and flowers. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being creative and taking lots of photos of the family Greyhound, Pablo. Looking forward to seeing you all again in 2023!

Jenna Gladman
Educator
Hello,
My name is Jenna and I am very excited to be working in the 3 Hub this year. I feel very fortunate to have worked at St John’s for the past four and a half years and am incredibly grateful for all the learning opportunities I have had so far.
As an educator my passion is to create a safe and supportive learning for everyone, and a place where everyone can grow and explore their own interests.
In my spare time I love to spend time with my family and friends, eating and making delicious food, learning new things and exploring different parts of the world.

Thushari Senarath
Co-Educator
Hello, my name is Thushari.
I am so thrilled to be continuing my journey in 2023 at St. Johns. It has been a privilege to be part of this amazing community for the past nine years.
I strive to build good relationships with the children, respecting each individual. I also value and understand the diversity and strengths of our beautiful community.
At home, I enjoy cooking, listening to music and spending time with my husband Diran, and our daughters Taneesha and Kiara. We look forward to travelling to Sri Lanka together and creating beautiful memories with our parents and families.
Can’t wait to experience another great year!

Trisha Wheeler
Educator (Intervention)
Hello! My name is Trisha and I am so excited to be a member of the St. John’s community, not only as a parent, but now as an educator! I have been teaching for ten years now and completed my Masters of Teaching (Primary) at Melbourne University.
I feel incredibly privileged to be working at a school that puts children at the heart of everything we do! I truly believe that students learn best through rich, authentic play and discovery based experiences and that student wellbeing is of the utmost importance. My aim is to empower children to take risks, think creatively, problem solve and, of course, have a LOT of fun!
I will be working in Learning Intervention, providing small group support for students and working closely with teachers to help children achieve their learning goals.
When I am not at St. John’s, you might find me at the dog park with my crazy Kelpie, Lucy, or at the local playgrounds with my daughters, Frankie and Nina. I love the beach and spending time on my boogie board up in Ocean Grove and I am hoping to give surfing a red hot go this Summer!
I can’t wait to get to know all of our St. John’s families even better this year!
