It is a privilege to work alongside the Preps as they begin their learning journeys. It’s always my aim to help the boys and girls discover their ‘lightbulb moments’ in a way that best suits them.

I love coming to work each day and seeing the children smile and watching the excitement in their eyes because they have PE with me.
