Bligh Park,NSW
Summary
I'm moving into primary teaching, after more than 15 years in the Out of Home Care sector. I'll bring my knowledge and skills in attachment, trauma informed practice and behaviour management into the classroom, with the goal of forming positive relationships with students as the foundation for their effective learning and development. I'm looking forward to being at the coal face again and continuing to seek to make a difference in the lives of children.
