Teacher Profile
My name is Brooke Franks, I have been teaching in the Evans Head/Woodburn/Casino community for the past 12 years. I am excited and honoured to be a part of the Wyrallah Road Public School team as a Year 2 classroom teacher in 2024.
Born and bred on the Far North Coast, I grew up on a macadamia farm at Numulgi, enjoying the country lifestyle. I now live at Evans Head, with my three children, Jake, 19, Chelsea, 16, and Sasha, 12, who are growing up far too quickly! We enjoy spending time at the beach, swimming, camping, fishing and photography.
As a teacher I believe in a growth mindset, supporting students to attempt new and difficult challenges through adapting positive self-talk, even if they can’t do it 'yet'…or if it’s not a strength of theirs, that through positive thinking, perseverance and practice they can achieve anything they set their mind to. I encourage students to reach for their highest potential and bring the best version of themselves to the classroom every day.
I instill these qualities by providing a safe, positive and just classroom climate, establishing high expectations supported by the notion that I believe in them, and they can achieve anything they set their mind to by staying optimistic, focused and persevering in the face of a challenge. Success big or small is celebrated in our classroom and each day is an opportunity for them to achieve their personal best and be proud of what they achieve. I look forward to getting to know each individual student and support their growth on the next step of their educational journey.
