Kim Ballard
My name is Kim Ballard and I am excited to be teaching Year 2 and beginning this learning journey with your child. I grew up in the local area on a farm just outside of Coraki and have a large family of seven siblings. I enjoy spending time with my family.
I studied at Southern Cross University in Lismore and began at WRPS in 2015. I love working with my colleagues and the wider school community.
Throughout my experience as a teacher I believe that the student's personality and prior knowledge enrich the classrooms that they are in, and their school environment. I believe it is essential to hold high expectations, set learning goals with students and most importantly teach in a professional, caring and nurturing manner.
I am looking forward to working with you and your child, and building open and effective lines of communication.
This year I am working with Tina Budd and we are going to make an awesome team. We both have similar teaching styles and this will create consistency for your child. I teach on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
