Summary

I am a friendly, reliable and hardworking team player who is extremely passionate about working with children. I am currently in my second year at University of Sunshine Coast (Unisc) studying Bachelor of Primary Education. I know that I am well equipped for working within this workplace because I have the ability to create fun, safe, inclusive and engaging learning environments for all children. I have completed one session of placement, which was two weeks long. This was completed in October 2023 at Norris Road State School. I am looking forward to further discussing my qualities and capabilities in an interview. Thank you for taking the time to review my application for this job position.
