Summary
Confident and supportive, I am passionate about teaching students because I love to motivate and encourage children to challenge themselves, create and contribute new ideas, and collaborate with others in respectful ways. I have had considerable experience working with children, particularly through my OSHC Educator and Learning Support Aid experiences. I am knowledgeable, dependable, and enthusiastic about teaching, and I aim to encourage all students to cultivate intellectual and creative passions and to capitalise on natural talents. My care and dedication are evident as in 2024 I have worked hard to develop a Year 5/6 Program for my OSHC Program, creating a space for the children to express themselves, explore new experiences, and build positive relationships with their peers.
