During my employment at Comet Bay College I have started the HASS department with collaboration of a colleague. I wrote programs and assessments for initially Year 8, then as the school grew Years 9 and 10. Once the school had expanded to upper school, I initially wrote and coordinated the ATAR Politics and Law Year 11 and 12 programs. Then taught Year 11 ATAR Geography. Once Psychology was introduced I wrote and coordinated ATAR and general Year 11 and 12 Psychology programs and assessments for five years. Whilst thoroughly enjoying teaching all aspects of HASS, Psychology is my passion.


Employer: Rossmoyne Senior High School
Period of Employment: 2004-2006
Position: HASS teacher for lower school
Year 8 – 10 (including GAT and extension)

During my employment at Rossmoyne Senior High School I delivered the lower school programs in HASS and moderated with my colleagues to improve student outcomes. My students participated in the National History Challenge, Stock Market Game. I organized excursions to the Francis Burt Centre and Fremantle Law Courts.

Employer: Leonora District High School
Period of Employment: 2001 – 2003
Position: HASS teacher
Art teacher
Kindergarten teacher

Key responsibilities: To coordinate and teach HASS for Year 8,9 and 10 students
To run the Kindergarten
Teach art to the whole school – pre-primary to year 10

During my employment at Leonora District High School I wrote and implemented HASS programs and assessments for years 8,9 and 10. I also wrote and implemented programs for Art and the Kindergarten. The necessity to be creative with hands on programs and the fact that I was the department encouraged my initiative and imagination. For example, when teaching History I was able to do an archaeological “dig” with my students. This was not only a lot of fun for them but also for myself.
