Summary

My goal as a teacher is to provide a learning environment where students feel safe, secure and engaged. I recognise that every student learns in a different capacity and I endeavour to adapt my methods and approach to achieve the very best for each student. Students in my classroom are confident learners who I help to grow, learn and develop into responsible and successful lifelong learners, who understand and can contribute to a rapidly changing and complex world.
