With
a history of international sporting representation
in track and field, multiple NSW and Australian
Championships and records and dual City-To-Surf
wins, Angie understands what it takes to reach
one’s potential in any field – including
education. Her motivation and desire to achieve
and her ability to motivate others ultimately
led her into the field of education.
Gaining
a Bachelor of Arts degree from Sydney University
and a Diploma in Education, and after three years
in journalism and then private enterprise, Angie
decided to use her ability to motivate in the
classroom.
Working
as a primary school teacher since 1981, Angie
has had experience with teaching children from
Kindergarten through to Year 6. Her classroom
experience with a gifted and talented class in
2005 and 2006 served as the catalyst for developing
a program to support the needs of both students
and parents in transition to high school.
Angie’s
aim is to give each and every student the opportunity
to reach his or her own individual potential –
and parents the chance to be part of the process.
Other programs are offered to support and advise
students on how to maximise their learning and
parents on how to monitor and support their child’s
progress and organisational skills at home. Specialised
staff programs are designed to support teachers
with a range of practical, useful ideas they can
use immediately in the classroom.
Her
work with mentoring and motivating extends beyond
the classroom. Angie is currently involved with
the Athletics Australia / Athletics International
National Under-19 Talent Squad Mentoring Program,
working with a designated athlete who has been
identified as a potential international representative,
providing encouragement and motivation to reach
her desired goals.
