Summary
A passionate and adaptable primary school teacher with experience across middle, senior and junior levels. This year I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching New Entrants and have developed a strong foundation in early structured literacy through BSLA training. I am committed to fostering a positive, nurturing classroom environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow. I value collaborative teamwork and would love the opportunity to continue contributing to Maunu's supportive and vibrant learning community in 2026, in a role where I can make a meaningful difference - whether with New Entrants, Year 2/3, or Year 6 learners.
