Ivanhoe Primary School
26/10/2023, Week 4, Term 4.
Wominjeka to OSHC at Ivanhoe Primary School!
We would like to begin by acknowledging the Wurrunjeri People of the Woi Wurrung people, past, present and future.
The custodians of the Birrarung Marr (Yarra River) and the land which we know, learn and play on, as Outside School Hours Care.
Good Luck Tom!
Our long term senior educator Tom F, has found himself an internship and will be finishing up his time at OSHC at the end of this week.
Tom attended the program as a student at IPS and became a junior educator with us during his later years in high school. Tom then moved up to the role of senior educator and has become a highly valued senior member of our team.
Over the 8 years he has been working here, he has developed into a well-respected, dedicated, calm and considerate educator, who is always thinking of ways we can improve our practice to make each student’s time here enjoyable and engaging. He is always ready to help out his co-workers and is often referred to for feedback and ideas regarding a variety of program areas.
Tom’s calm demeanor has been invaluable when it comes to teaching children team work and cooperation and is active in ensuring that all students feel safe and heard while here.
While we are very sad to see him go, we know he is going on to achieve great things in his chosen field of Biomedical Engineering. From all the staff and students at OSHC we wish Tom, 'Good Luck!' and know he’ll back to visit very soon.
