Meet your teachers

Mr. Gliddon

Hello everyone, my name is Simon and I am into my fifth year of teaching at MBPS and I have loved every moment of the journey so far. 2020 is my first year in Grade 5/6, having spent all my previous years in Grade 1/2. It certainly is a massive change, but I am very fortunate to continue to share memories with a great bunch of kids. I live locally in Parkdale and enjoy spending as much time as possible at the beach, topping up my tan and walking my dog, Ned. I am a big Hawks fan and always enjoy a win, especially when they beat Miss Tobin’s Tigers!! I adore my job and helping my kids be the best they can be!

Miss Tobin

Hi everyone, my name is Kelly and this is my first year teaching at MBPS and I have loved every second so far! Previous to teaching I spent years working in Sports and Events. I absolutely love sport, coaching Calisthenics for over 13 years  and have been fortunate enough to be at the MCG to see the mighty Tigers win 2 premierships!! Outside of work I enjoy cooking, going to the beach and spending time with friends and family.  Our classroom is bright, welcoming and fun, where everyone’s quirks are embraced and celebrated!

Mr. Pretty

Hi everyone, I’m Max Pretty and I teach upstairs in grade 5/6. I have been a teacher for 5 years but have spent 3 years of that time working at a summer camp as a coach and director gaining lots of experience working with kids and gaining a huge bank of games in the process! I currently live in Glen Iris and happily make the trip bayside each day to work at MBPS, I love getting to work in a community school with a fantastic staff and students. I am a huge fan of all sports mainly love watching the footy and the mighty Hawks, as well as cricket in the summer and watching Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.
