School Leaders

Hi, my name is Luke Bennett and I am privileged to be Campus Principal at our Primary School (New Holland Drive Campus). I have been a teacher and leader in all education settings in the UK & Australia and currently lead teaching and learning across our whole school. I place a strong emphasis on building relationships with students, staff and parents. When everyone works together in this partnership, our students will be able to reach their highest potential.

In our Primary School we build the foundations for our students in their learning, experiences and opportunities. We also focus on displaying our school values, Resilience, Respect and Responsibility throughout every school day.

Students are supported by Classroom Teachers, Specialist Teachers, Educational Support Staff and Allied Health Staff. Students have tailored educational programs to support them with their learning. We place a very strong emphasis on our termly Student Support Group meetings where everyone meets to discuss progress towards learning and wellbeing goals for each student.

We have brand new state-of-the-art facilities at Marnebek. This includes; Learning Buildings, Gym, Therapy Rooms, Basketball Court, Sensory Garden, Library and a Recording Studio. We also have amazing specialist classrooms for Art, STEM, Food Technology, Music and Dance.

It is an extremely exciting time for the whole of the Marnebek community and I am excited by the opportunities we will provide for students as they grow and develop into young adults. I look forward to meeting all community members this year and supporting all students and parents/carers throughout your time at Marnebek School.

Hi, my name is Juice, and I am the Assistant Principal at the Senior School Campus. I have 14 years of experience in inclusive education, having worked in a variety of roles, including as an Education Support staff member, Wellbeing, Junior School Teacher, Middle School Teacher, and PE Teacher.

Since joining Marnebek in 2022 as Leading Teacher focusing on Community Engagement & Physical Education, I have had the opportunity to work across multiple areas of the school, forming strong connections with students from all year levels. In my current role, I lead Student Engagement and Community Engagement while also managing operations at Corrigans Rd Campus. This role enables me to create enriching experiences that support student learning, strengthen their sense of belonging, and equip them with the skills they need to thrive as lifelong learners.

I am passionate about developing inclusive educational experiences that empower every student to reach their full potential. By working collaboratively with families, staff, and the wider community, I strive to ensure that Marnebek remains a nurturing, engaging, and dynamic learning environment for all.

Beyond my leadership role, I take great pride in fostering a school culture that celebrates diversity, resilience, and personal growth. Whether through tailored learning programs, community initiatives, or extracurricular opportunities, my goal is to inspire students to embrace challenges, build confidence, and develop the skills they need for a bright future.
