Summary

I am currently completing my final placement which will conclude my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (October 2024). Through my studies I have found my passion for teaching. For the past two years I have worked at St Paul's College as an Inclusive Education ESO while studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. The move to St Paul's allowed me the opportunity to work alongside likeminded educators and further develop a thorough understanding of the Australian Curriculum and classroom management skills. I pride myself on being receptive to feedback and consistently strive for self-improvement, actively seeking opportunities to enhance my skills and evolve as an educator. My enthusiasm for working with students in an educational setting is driven by a genuine desire to contribute to their skill development and personal growth. My proficiency in adapting to diverse educational settings has been substantiated through my extensive experience working across various year levels, ranging from reception to year 11. This adaptability has been consistently demonstrated throughout my placements and in my current position.
