Meet The Teachers

I love being the Principal of Roberts McCubbin Primary School. We have such an inclusive, diverse community of wonderful, supportive families. With Mrs Wigg, being able to lead such a talented staff is also a daily privilege. Outside of school I love to go camping with family and friends!

My name is Claudia Collins and I teach Foundation at Robbie Mac! I feel so lucky to work with the wonderful students in the junior school, seeing them grow and flourish over the year is so special. I love spending time with my own family and friends on the weekend, as well as playing sport, baking and anything crafty! 

This is my first year at Roberts McCubbin, and I’m thrilled to be joining the Robbie Mac family as a foundation teacher. I love being able to spark curiosity in little learners and am excited to watch them grow as individuals throughout the year. Looking forward to a year full of learning and fun!

Hi, my name is Cheryl Ryan and I am a year 1 teacher. I have been working at Roberts McCubbin for a number of years.  I enjoy working with all the students and making their learning journey a positive one. I love the beach, reading and playing tennis.

Students “buy-in” to STEM because it’s authentic, hands-on and collaborative. The level of immersive engagement, ingenuity, creativity and complex problem solving I’ve seen students engage in, is so inspiring.  Outside of school you will find me teaching adults, in pump, spin and barre classes and sharing my passion for fitness.

This is my 7^th year of working at Robbie Mac. I love working here because all of the staff, students and families are so welcoming and inclusive. I enjoy working with the year 2 students because they ask lots of great questions and are lots of fun to be around.

I have taught at Roberts McCubbin since 2008 and I love working with the great kids we have here. I have 3 children (all Robbie Mac students) and a very cute cavoodle. In my spare time I like to go camping with friends and family, reading and watching movies.

Roberts McCubbin is such a positive and inclusive environment to teach within. I love teaching Year 3 as it is wonderful to see the students develop their independence and watch the children develop and flourish throughout the year. In my spare time I love going on beach holidays with my own children, watching movies and reading.

Hi, my name’s Anne Seymour and I am currently teaching a Year 4 class. What makes our school special are the students who are a pleasure to teach. I really believe in our whole school values and see these reflected in the attitudes and behaviour of the students. I also enjoy teaching and collaborating with the dedicated and vibrant teaching staff here. On the weekend, I love watching my boy’s playing basketball.

I have been at Robbie Mac for about 10 years now and I just love coming to school each day. The kids are so engaged and willing to learn which makes teaching them such a rewarding experience. We are very lucky to have such a supportive staff and beautiful school.

Whilst I may not be a new teacher, this is my first year at Robbie Mac. It is fantastic to be working within such an inclusive and positive environment. The Year 5 students love to learn all aspects of the curriculum and I take great pride and joy watching the many lightbulb moments we have in the classroom. I am especially passionate about student engagement in Numeracy and challenging students at their required learning level. Outside of work, I love spending time with my young family and watching the mighty Saints play in the footy.

Hi! My name is Micah Gonzalez, and I am a year 5 teacher. I have the amazing privilege of collaborating with outstanding staff, students, and parents, as we continue to create a safe and inclusive environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. Being a part of this community fills me with gratitude every day. Beyond the classroom, I like going to the gym, indulging in a good book, and cherishing moments with loved ones.

I currently work in our Year Six level and I have loved the opportunity this has provided as I taught some of them in their Prep year level – a fantastic book end for their primary school years.

I’ve been a teacher at Robbie Mac for almost 20 years.  In that time I’ve seen this place change and develop into an amazing facility with a fantastic community and caring, dedicated teachers who love what they do.  Come visit me some time in ‘Tim’s Gym’ !

I love my job because I get to do what I am passionate about every day-help kids learn languages! Outside of school I enjoy cooking for friends, caravanning and watching my kids play sport.

I love the school community, especially working with the students creating art. I am also enjoying my role as a counsellor doing art therapy. I enjoy learning new things especially about other cultures and introducing them to students. I love travelling, skiing and doing anything creative.

As a teacher and parent at Robbie Mac I love our schools focus on student well-being and the supportive nature of our staff and parent community. The integrated use of ICT in all areas of learning is also a big plus. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family and creating artworks using pyrography.

As a Performing Arts teacher with a Bachelor’s in music performance and a Master’s in teaching secondary education, I look to create engaging lessons using innovative technology. Beyond the classroom, I have had experience instructing ensembles and choirs in disability centres, fostering inclusivity. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my two dogs and pursue interests in soccer, creating music, and DJing. I look forward to the educational journey with Robbie Macs where creativity, technology, and personal connections are interrelated with the goal to build self-confidence for every person within the arts.
