Kierin

Hi, my name is Kierin!

I completed my Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Teaching at the University of Newcastle in 2003.

In 2004, I spent a year in the Northern Territory, teaching a Year 3 class in Alice Springs.  During this time, I travelled extensively throughout the Top End.  I had great adventures and have many stories of outback shenanigans!

I am currently working as a casual teacher in the Newcastle and Central Coast areas, and I’m enjoying this immensely!  I have always had a passion for teaching, as I feel it is such a rewarding experience to be able to help a child.

I love to read!  Coming from a family where my mother is an author – it comes naturally!  I will read everything and anything.  My favourites are books that will make me laugh!  I love a good 'Chick Lit' book, and I am happy to bury myself in a biography or two when I get the chance!  I also love to dabble in writing myself.  And I love music.

I dream of travelling.  I am yet to set foot in Europe, but it’s on my wish list!

Working at Arrendell is a valuable experience for both the child and the teacher.  A lot can be learnt through the eyes of a child!
