Summary
As a dedicated Primary School Teacher with a caring nature and strong communication skills, I am passionate about inspiring students to engage with their learning. In my role as a Temporary/Contracted teacher at Holy Family Catholic Primary School, I have developed a wide range of curriculum-based expertise and built strong relationships with students across all year levels. I am experienced in creating and implementing Personal Learning Plans, working closely with parents to meet each student's differentiated needs.
My versatility allows me to embrace any task, adapting seamlessly to changing conditions with a resourceful and hardworking approach. I am committed to fostering a positive learning environment, with proven strengths in classroom management, behaviour modification, and personalised support. I effectively work with students of all skill levels to encourage learning and promote educational success. Additionally, I actively practice my Catholic faith by serving at Sunday Mass at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church, which strengthens my connection to the community.
