What is your role at the school and how long have you been a part of the team/OLW? I am the Student Welfare Officer. I've worked at OLW since 2020, my first 2.5 years were in the classroom as a school officer, before I moved into the role of Student Welfare. What do you love most about your job? I love the connections and relationships I get to make with the students. My role provides a unique opportunity to help students grow, while providing them a safe person they can trust to help them when faced with social and emotional challenges. What do you enjoy the most about working at OLW? What makes our school community special to you? As a small school, we have the privilege of getting to know every member of our community, both staff and students. Can you share a memorable moment/experience you have had while working at OLW? My most memorable moment I've had while working at OLW was going on the year 5/6 leadership excursion in 2022. It was incredible to witness students confront their fears and participate in activities they initially found daunting and challenging. I was moved by the support and encouragement they showed each other, especially when other students needed it most. What are you passionate about? I am passionate about creating safe environments for students to learn, grow and flourish. I think it's incredibly important to first make sure that school is a sanctuary where children feel empowered to express themselves freely, seek support and receive encouragement. I believe this creates the perfect environment to foster a love for learning and paves the way for them to become lifelong learners. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, spending time outside – whether this be at the beach or hiking. |
