Are you searching for a career where you can really make a difference in young people’s lives?
Jacqueline Nel, English teacher, Mount Lawley Senior High School
“I chose teaching because I wanted a secure, challenging, long term career which would give me an opportunity to be creative and autonomous. I also wanted to combine my strengths in English, communication and media. I really enjoy being able to encourage curiosity in my students. I love the unpredictability –
no two days are ever the same!”
Kara Pages, primary teacher, Spencer Park Primary School
”I had a very positive schooling experience and a range of fantastic teachers who inspired me to become a teacher. I really like working with children. I love it when they come in each morning and have got something so exciting they just can’t wait to tell you. That would have to be the best part of my day.”
Natalie Delfos,
Design and Technology teacher
Merredin Senior High School
“I have always wanted to be a teacher.
I enjoy seeing my students’ faces when they are so proud of something they have made. I especially like teaching at a country school – there is a great support network here. I also enjoy the extra responsibility and the chance to work across different learning areas which means it will never become boring or monotonous – as if it ever would.”
Linda Crombie, Principal
Babakin Primary School
“I am not only the principal, I also teach in the classroom so I’m in the trenches with my teachers! I am lucky to have great staff – team work is at the core of everything we do. We discuss classroom policies and share experiences. I always encourage my staff to contribute and I take their ideas on board.”
