Special Interests

Junior School Specialisation

I have spent my teaching career thus far specialising in the Junior School which I am extremely passionate about. I have experience in learning through play, developing perceptual motor skills and phonics, with current interest in a structured literacy approach. I believe my experience makes me well-equipped to provide a nurturing and effective learning environment for our youngest learners.


Literacy

I have special interests in teaching literacy, especially Junior literacy. I was fortunate to have acquired the role of Curriculum Innovator in Literacy last year which was a great leadership opportunity for me.


Inquiry

I have had the privilege of being part of an International Baccalaureate school that has nurtured my passion for inquiry-based learning. I love to cultivate long-lasting, responsive and meaningful learning through experiences.
