Strengths

 Art: Students in my class have created amazing clay works and at present they are all creating mosaic tiling with a parent and myself. I believe to achieve quality work it takes time therefore I maintain taking a whole term to focus on a particular area. I am at present in charge of the art budget and able to source a variety of resources required.

ICT: This is a particular area I love. Students in my class are engaged in learning and I myself strive to continue to keep up with new technology. Photography is a particular interest and gaining skills in this area can assist students with their inquiry work. I believe that through the use of web 2.0 tools students and parents have an opportunity to share in the learning environment.

PE: I have coached netball for 3 years and am in charge of Physical Education in my present school. I have taken my whole class to the weetbix 2009 triathlon and gained sponsorship for this. I instigated the application for a $2000 sports trolley which we recieved at the beginning of term 2. I am the lead teacher in the Active School contract which we are currently beginning. I am in charge of the PE budget and inspire the students to choose a number of the resources we need in this area.

Music: I was responsibile for the Kainui Koncert in 2008 and was the lead conductor of 300 students. I have also been in charge of the Kids for Kids concert in 2009 which our whole school was involved with. This is a particular passion of mine as I alo sing in a worship team and lead worship at my church.
