Teaching and Learning Philosophy
General (click on the picture for a larger image)	I am very aware of the interconnected and complex nature of the world in which myself and my students operate. The interdisciplinary approach of the VELS fits well with my own core values and beliefs which underpin my approach to teaching, which are represented in the diagram at left.
Maths $ ¢ Maths makes cents to me ¢ $	I enjoy the challenge of maths, and try to share my sense of fun and interest with my students to make maths come alive - no matter how lame the pun!
Indonesian	Indonesia, and the Indonesian language has been an interest, and growing passion of mine for a long time. I have visited Indonesia several times, including a brief homestay experience during which I taught English at a secondary school in Makassar, Sulawesi (see picture at left). I am always excited to learn about, experience and share with students this vibrant and living culture.
Other Skills and Interests
Dance	Since 2001 I have taught and assisted with a variety of dance classes at Over The Moon Yoga and Dance Studios, including my current role as co-teacher of a creative dance class for 5 year-olds For a number of years I have been heavily involved in the organisation, preparation and running of the annual Performance, including: preparation and organisation of program information, rehearsals, procedures for managing 150+ students, volunteer parent-helpers and more backstage management choreography costume and prop design and construction performance (dancing)
Sewing	In addition to the costume making mentioned above, I also enjoy making clothing, and a range of handicrafts such as cross-stitch, embroidery and knitting.
