Class Teacher - Stage 2

• What was your first day at School/GEPS like?

  - My first day at GEPS felt exciting. I remember walking into different classrooms and realising how strong the connection was between teachers and students. They didn’t just teach lessons - they cared, listened, and helped them grow. That made my first day feel safe and welcoming.

• What are 3 words to describe your school Journey?

  - Impactful- Knowing that I’ve helped shape young minds and futures.

  - Evolving- Constantly learning, adapting, and growing alongside my students.

  - Rewarding- Seeing students succeed, gain confidence, and discover their strengths.

• What is something new you've learned this year?

  - This year, I’ve learned how important confidence is - believing in myself, even when something feels challenging. I also learned that mistakes aren’t failures; they’re part of learning.

• If your learning journey was a vehicle (rocket, bike, boat etc) what would it be and why?

  - My learning journey would be a rocket because each year I feel like I’m launching toward new goals. Sometimes the take-off is challenging, but once I get going, I rise higher, learn more, and see things from a new perspective.

• If you could go on an adventure anywhere, where would you go and who would you take with you?

  - I would love to go to Japan to explore the culture, technology, and beautiful places like Mount Fuji. I would take my family and closest friends so we could experience everything together and create unforgettable memories.
