I am Colleen Bredenbeck and I love being part of the CPS community. I have been in primary education for a number of years and I have taught Years 0, 1 and 2 for the past few years.
Going on the learning journey with children is always exciting as we challenge each other, discover, explore new ideas and best of all have fun. I love having a bright and inviting learning environment so children are proud of their class, feel like they belong and have ownership of their learning.
One of my favourite things to do is spend time with my family at the lake where I am often putting myself out of my comfort zone, wakeboarding and mountain biking.
I am always excited to meet new families and be part of the CPS family.
Teacher - Room 14 - New Entrant & Year 1
Hi, my name is Anna Wren. I have been teaching for over 10 years and have spent most of those years teaching within the junior school. Working with kids is my passion and helping New Entrants navigate their new adventure into school life is one of the best parts of my job. We are so lucky to work in an amazing environment at Cambridge Primary School with the best community. Outside of school, I love spending time with my family. We love to go to the beach, travel and explore new things together

Kia Ora , my name is Maria Vettise and I teach year 0/1. I thoroughly enjoy working with children at the junior level and delight in all their new learning. I love supporting children in their transition into school and enjoy having a positive impact on their first year. CPS offers a variety of opportunities for our children and I feel privileged to be part of such a supportive school community.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three young children. We love travelling and having adventures in the outdoors

Hi I'm Johanna Shortt-Smith, I'm a teacher working with amazing CPS learners. I have one son currently attending CPS, and two other sons who previous attended, and loved every minute of it. As a former classroom teacher, I'm loving the role as a learning assistant, putting my old teaching skills to use, and supporting our wonderful CPS teachers and students.
