Teachers team

My name is Nicole Maasland. I started teaching at De Madelief since September 2017.

Since January 2018 I have taken up the position of School Leader. I do this with great pleasure and passion, together with a strong team of teachers by my side.

I have been involved in education for some time now. In the Netherlands I have mainly been a teacher in primary schools.

I have been living in Dublin for 4 years now with my husband and 2 daughters.

My name is Gettje Nieuwenhuis. I have been a kindergarten teacher at De Madelief since schoolyear 2022/’23. I really like doing this! I always had an affinity for younger children. During my student days I worked at campsites as an activity supervisor for the little ones.

Before I started as a teacher at De Madelief, I occasionally helped as a volunteer with the toddlers, with special activities. My own son has just outgrown the toddler stage, so the experience (as a mother) with a bilingual toddler is still fresh in my memory 🙂

In the summer of 2016 I came to live in Ireland with my husband and son. We really like it!

Manuela Hoekstra class teacher class 3 and 4

My name is Manuela and I have been working as a teacher since August this year at De Madelief.

I have been living in Dublin with my family for several years. I studied at the UvA (Languages, Media) and HvA in The Netherlands and lived and worked in Amsterdam for several years.

I like hiking, going out with my family, tennis and Netflix. I really enjoy working with children; (I have worked in different creches), listening to what they say and how they say something is great! I’d like to contribute to a small part of their development.

My name is Bertine Stuart and I have been involved with the school since the foundation of De Madelief (in 2015). I started as a teacher of Junior and Senior infants, but now I teach class 5 and 6. I do this with great pleasure.

I have been living in Ireland for 12 years now with my husband and 2 children. Next to working at the Dutch school, I worked as a group leader and manager at various daycare centres for a number of years.

I enjoy my work at De Madelief and it is also very nice to be part of the Dutch community in Ireland through the school, together with my colleagues, the children and their parents.
