Meet our New Staff- Stacey Bilchouris
What is your role at Concord School? At Concord School I am a Generalist Classroom Teacher Lower Primary . This is my third week teaching PMM and I am absolutely loving it.
Provide us with a ‘snapshot’ into your daily routine at Concord School: I try and get to Concord School by 8am where I will prepare for the day ahead. I teach Reading, Writing, Maths, Social Skills and Integrated Studies. When the students are at specialist classes I am planning activities with my team for the weeks ahead. After school when we don’t have meetings, I try and prepare activities for the week ahead.
What do you love about working at Concord School?
I love the friendly environment that Concord School offers. Most of all, I love the time I get to spend getting to know my students personally in the classroom. As well as working with my E.S. Mahni and as well as the friendly staff at the Lower Primary Campus.
