Teachers

​

​

My Literacy classes are for students with over-active imaginations who have a passion for listening to, viewing, and writing stories that are character and plot driven.

Touch Typing, Spelling, Grammar, Comprehension, and Punctuation are regular staples for your child to feast upon as their vocabulary grows to monumentally exacerbated quantities.

We study novels together, view films of interest, and learn our Indigenous historical truth. Your child must be prepared to have fun while learning.

​

My Mathematics Main Lessons are based on units of work with depth and breadth (very handy in Math actually) which can be applied to real life.

Times tables are reviewed regularly, practical skills are harnessed.

Your child’s confidence with mathematical concepts of all shapes and sizes will grow to infinite proportions while learning valuable skills for life.

​

History and Geography features Aboriginal education and for the older teens we are using the text: The Complete School Study Guide, Everything You Need To Ace World History.

For Science for the older teens we are using the text: The Complete School Study Guide, Everything You Need To Ace Science.

The Monday class are delving into gardening, growing their own seedlings for recipes and potential future entrepreneurial endeavours.

Maths is alive in the kitchen and the garden and of course, our classroom.
