Introducing New Staff at Trinity Catholic College

Over the next few weeks we will take the opportunity to introduce new staff members in our weekly newsletter.

Megan Reid

Sports Coordinator

I moved over from the UK in August last year with my husband & 2 children. I’m a keen hockey player and for the last 10 years have worked as a Hockey Development officer in the UK. Starting at Trinity has helped me settle into my new life in Dunedin. The staff and students have been very welcoming, and I look forward to getting to know the staff, students & parents more.

P.S. My step count has never been so high! 

Mark Thomas

Property Manager

A little about myself. I am originally from the UK, made the big move to NZ in 2011 after living and traveling around Australia. I have various hobbies ranging from cooking big slabs of meat on the BBQ to simply kicking back and watching a movie or enjoying some live music.

I look very much forward to maintaining and updating the property and grounds at Trinity.   

Sam Montgomerie

English Department

Kia Ora koutou. It is a pleasure to join the English Department at Trinity Catholic College. I will be teaching English across years 10-13, and have a wonderful Year 10 pastoral class. 

I hail from the North Island, growing up in Whanganui, but have lived and taught in Ōtepoti for the past 20 years. In my spare time I enjoy keeping active in the outdoors, being amongst wildlife, and reading.  I also love to write and have established a successful publishing career writing educational readers, junior fiction texts and poetry for publications in NZ and the UK. I have recently returned to the classroom after completing a writing residency as the Otago University College of Education Children’s Writer in Residence in 2025. I look forward to bringing my writing expertise into Trinity College and helping to foster the writing talents of keen wordsmiths.

I already feel blessed to have been welcomed warmly by staff, students and parents I have met in the Trinity community.  I look forward to meeting more of you over the coming months.
