Julie Catherine Lacoste

As a passionate and experienced secondary teacher specializing in French and Humanities, I bring over 10 years of expertise in teaching French, complemented by a strong background as a former French lawyer and Historian of Laws. I graduated from ACU in 2024 with a GTPA score of 6.25, earning the ACU Canberra Award for Dedication, Hard Work, and Academic Excellence.
I am committed to creating a positive, respectful, and engaging classroom environment, guided by high expectations and a focus on building strong relationships with students. My teaching philosophy is grounded in the principles of Positive Behaviour for Learning, ensuring that every student feels valued and empowered. I employ a differentiated, adaptive, and responsive teaching approach, tailored to the needs of each learner, and consistently use assessment for learning strategies to drive student success.
With a deep understanding of the Australian Curriculum, I am skilled in fostering an inclusive and dynamic learning atmosphere that encourages active participation and critical thinking. My goal is to inspire students to reach their full potential, both academically and personally, while nurturing their love for learning and curiosity.
