Teacher

I began my journey at Forrestfield Primary as a Kindergarten teacher, and over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of transitioning into my current role as a Specialist Art Teacher. Throughout my time here, I’ve been passionate about fostering creativity, self-expression, and confidence in students of all ages.

Building meaningful, supportive relationships with students, their families, and the wider school community is at the heart of my teaching. I believe that a nurturing, caring environment helps students feel safe to explore and grow, both artistically and personally.

Forrestfield Primary has always felt like home to me, and I am proud to be part of such an inspiring and connected community. I look forward to continuing to support and guide our students as they discover and develop their creative potential.

As the pre-primary teacher at Forrestfield Primary School, I am deeply passionate about teaching and dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment for my students. I find joy in seeing my students arrive each day with bright smiles and leave with even bigger ones. My role goes beyond just imparting knowledge; I strive to help them build a strong foundation for their learning while ensuring they feel safe and secure in our classroom.

I believe in the importance of building strong relationships with my students, their parents, and their families. Together, we work collaboratively to provide the best educational experience for each child. Watching my students spread their wings, grow, and blossom into confident individuals is truly fulfilling. I am committed to creating a loving and caring atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported on their educational journey. My goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning in each of my students, nurturing their curiosity and creativity every step of the way.
