Summary
Being a passionate and driven educator, it allows me to provide only the best education for my classes. As a mum of two girls, I strongly believe in giving the students the opportunities necessary to become well rounded, resilient, holistic students and followers of Christ. I enjoy collaborating with colleagues and the heads of faculty to evaluate and enhance curriculum delivery. Whilst I thoroughly enjoy teaching, I also enjoy the process of preparing and implementing personal learning programs to enhance individual student learning, curriculum materials, creating classroom resources and supporting events held by the school community. Open communication, which is what I always promote with my students and their families, allows me to assist students to develop academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally.
