Teacher Profile:
My name is Leah Wood and I’m really pleased to be a part of the Wyrallah Road Public School teaching team this year. I have been teaching in Sydney, on the Northern Beaches since I graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Education in 2011. Being passionate about ensuring that students develop strong foundations academically, socially and emotionally, my experience and love for teaching has focused on the lower years of Kindergarten and Year One. Being very family orientated my husband and I have moved to the Northern Rivers so that our 2 young boys can be close to their grandparents and cousins. We love spending our free time at the beach and going for little camping trips. We are very much enjoying all the things that the area has to offer and look forward to exploring the region even more.
Hello My name is Rachael Ricketts and I’m excited to be a teacher on 1W this year, I will be teaching on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I completed my teaching degree at Southern Cross University in 2011 and I started my teaching career in Broken Hill, Far West NSW, where I taught all year levels k-6 for 4 years. I then moved back to the Far North Coast where I have continued to teach students across all year levels. I am also employed by TAFE NSW where I teach Education support to adult learners. I enjoy both of my teaching roles and am passionate about student welfare and their learning. My partner and my 17month old girl love being active and love to be outdoors exploring.
