Meet a Teacher
Mrs Lauren Coghill
Life before Girton:
I have worked in Administration at Girton for 15 years. I was lucky enough to make the transition to teaching this year.
What I Love about Teaching:
I love interacting with students and seeing the ‘light bulb’ moments when they grasp a concept that they have found challenging.
What is the best thing about teaching at Girton?
The Girton community. Working with students, families and staff. No question is a silly one and all I have to do is ask, and people will be there to help.
What do you like best about the year level you teach?
Year 5 Students are great. You can have a joke with them, and they get my humour.
My favourite classroom activity:
Maths, who doesn’t love maths!
What difference can good teaching make?
Good teachers are memorable. I still think about some teachers I had at school and the difference they made to my learning. I was fortunate enough to visit classrooms at Girton during my role Junior School administration, and seeing the difference teachers can make is one of the reasons I became a teacher.
