WHY I CHOSE TO WORK AT BCS

My husband John Keighley is a teacher at BCS. I had been volunteering at schools in Young as I was not considering full time work as I was working on our farm.  It was one of the best things I ever did. John was right it is an incredible school to work at!

 

MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCE AT BCS

 

WHY I LOVE WORKING AT BCS

 

 

SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT ME

Gosh too many to mention. I just love seeing students achieve to the best of their ability.  There is nothing more rewarding than being able to assist a student and then being able to witness their progress and see their self- esteem increase after their successes.

 

It is such a unique school. The students and staff have so much to contribute. It is a school that nurtures its students and staff. The atmosphere of the school is always positive no matter what the day has been like. Everyone looks out for each other.      

 

Well that is a hard question as Year 5/6 interviewed me the other day about my life! There is one thing I forgot to tell them.  I love sailing even though I don’t have the opportunity anymore; but I used to sail frequently and sometimes race small boats.
