3C Teacher

Hi! I’m Mrs Owen and I’m so excited to be teaching 3C this year. This is my third year at ACPS  and second year teaching Grade 3. When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family, reading or baking. I’m looking forward to a great year with the Year 3 cohort!

3D Teacher

I am so excited to be teaching 3A in 2025! I will be teaching part time in 3A on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I have been teaching at Aitken Creek Primary school since 2019. When I’m not at school, I’m running around after my two beautiful girls, Amelie and Isla and spending time with my husband. Our favourite things to do as a family are to travel in our camper trailer and spend time with our family and friends. I also love to bake, go for walks, and spend lots of time at the beach, rain or sunshine. I look forward to the year being filled with fun and lots of learning. I can’t wait for the new and exciting memories the year will bring us.

3D Teacher

Hello everyone! I’m Mrs Shabo and I am so excited to be teaching 3D this year! You might already know me because I’ve been lucky enough to teach at Aitken Creek Primary School for the past 10 years. I absolutely love helping students discover new skills, grow their confidence, and realise just how amazing they are. 

When I’m not at school, I’m a proud mum to my son, Lucian, who keeps life busy and full of fun! I have a feeling this year is going to be packed with learning, friendships, adventures, and exciting discoveries and I can’t wait to share it all with you!

3E Teacher

Hello families. My name is Mr Julian Springham and I am lucky to be teaching and working with 3C.  I have been teaching at ACPS for three years, but have been a primary classroom, Science and P.E. teacher at many schools over the last 12 years. This school is a great community, where diversity, inclusion and positive learning and interpersonal experiences for all are celebrated and it is a privilege to learn about and work with the wonderful students, families and staff at Aitken Creek Primary School. I look forward to working with, supporting, and observing the Year 3s learn and grow this year.

My name is Dilek Tok, the students know me as Ms T. I started at ACPS as a Parent Helper and then 8 years ago I took on the role as Education Support.

I truly enjoy supporting students in their learning journey and helping teachers do their magic in their classroom. 

 When not at school I am busy driving my two teenagers for their school and after school activities. I also love to read and nice long walks with my husband. 

 I am super excited to be part of the Year 3 cohort in 2026. It will be amazing!

Hi my name is Ms Yolanda and it’s my second year here at ACPS as an Education Support. 

I’m looking forward to working with students and helping them reach their full potential

In my spare time I love spending time with family and friends, listening to music, dancing and watching movies. 

Bring on 2026, it’s going to be an amazing year!

Hello! I am Mrs. Sobia Faraz, and I am thrilled to be entering my third year here at ACPS. My mission is to make learning both accessible and joyful for every student I work with. Outside of the classroom, I am a proud mother of two. When I’m not at school, you can usually find me in the kitchen baking cakes for my children or relaxing with my favorite TV shows.
