Spirit of excellence

17 Dec 2025

Ms Krestovsky and Ms Di Donato are celebrated for their creativity, leadership, and dedication to our school community.

Each year, schools across our network recognise staff who make an outstanding contribution to public education. This year, Mortlake Public School is proud to celebrate two incredible educators - Ms Krestovsky and Ms Di Donato.

Ms Krestovsky brings music to life for every student. From choir and string ensembles to performances at the Sydney Opera House, she creates inclusive opportunities for all children to excel. Her work culminates in the much-loved Mortlake Shines concert, a highlight of our school year.

Ms Di Donato’s passion for visual arts transforms our learning spaces and school community. Her creative vision shapes a vibrant Visual Arts program and the Shine On exhibition, where every child experiences the joy of having their artwork recognised and celebrated.

Together, Ms Krestovsky and Ms Di Donato inspire our students, staff, and families through their creativity, leadership, and dedication. They truly reflect the spirit of excellence at Mortlake Public School.

Thank you both for your commitment to public education. We are so grateful to have you as part of our community. Congratulations!
