Reading Recovery
Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Primary)Bachelor of Science- Psychology (Honours)
This year I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to train as a Reading recovery teacher. Sad as I am not to be in the classroom, this also gives me the time to spend with our ORS students and to set up an Enviro group and to work more in the library. I am really looking forward to learning more about reading and working with the students on improving our schools gardens and environment.
