  John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School

  Teacher

  During my time as an early childhood teacher at JSR, I brought my values and work ethic to the table in all my roles and responsibilities. Balancing the practical side of teaching with administrative tasks can be a challenge, but managing my time and employing organisational skills are a strength of mine, and I loved this position. I value the strong connections and relationships that were developed with students, their families and my colleagues, and was also involved in arranging and presenting professional development for my fellow teachers.
