Hillary Teachers
Teacher - Room 6 - Year 3/4 & Snr Teacher
Hi my name is Tanya Calitz and I am the Syndicate Leader for Hillary. I have been a part of the Cambridge Primary family since 2015. I am currently the staff representative on our Board of Trustees and am enjoying this role thoroughly. In my downtime I like to be outdoors, exploring new places and swimming whenever possible. I enjoy challenging myself and am always looking for new adventures.
Teacher - Room 13- Year 3
My name is Erin Bracken and I am teaching a class of wonderful Year 3 students this year.
This is my sixth year at Cambridge Primary School. I believe that CPS is a positive forward thinking school that strives to build life long learners, well rounded citizens and individuality in children.
At Cambridge Primary School children are taught valuable life skills as part of their education, this helps to set them up for their future. I am leading Enviro schools this year and I look forward to helping Cambridge Primary School and our wider community build a sustainable environment and achieve Green Gold enviro award in the near future.
My Hobbies are art and craft, archery, scuba diving, fishing, walking and relaxing with my lovely family and friends. I enjoy sharing my life experiences, artistic skills and knowledge with children and allowing them the opportunities to explore new experiences.
Teacher - Room 8 - Year 3/4
My name is Lucy Clouston and this will be my 8th year teaching. In my spare time I love being outdoors, walking and playing tennis.
I am from a farming background and enjoy heading back home in the holidays to my family farm in Central Otago.
I feel very privileged to be a part of the Cambridge Community. I am excited to be in the Hillary Syndicate this year. My main aim is to create a warm, open and friendly learning environment where the children in my class will feel excited and happy to be each day
Teacher - Room 13 - Year 3/4
Hi, I am Sarah Wright and I am a teacher in Room 9 in the Hillary syndicate. I have been teaching at Cambridge Primary since 2009 and have taught across all year levels.
I believe CPS is a wonderful school and provides students and staff with endless opportunities to succeed.
I have two beautiful children who keep me very busy in my spare time. I love to exercise, spend time outdoors and gardening.
I look forward to seeing you around the school.

Hi, my name is Mitchell Pettit and I started teaching in the Hillary syndicate in term 4 of 2017. My involvement with the school started in 2013, as I worked with the Four Peaks team at Out of School Care and I have also relieved throughout the syndicates.
I'm looking forward to getting to know the new faces in my class and their families. I am passionate about making learning authentic, meaningful and fun.
Out of school, I enjoy diving, travelling, water skiing and in winter you will find me at the rugby grounds.
I am always keen for a chat, so please come and say hello!
