Teacher Profile:
My name is Miss Karen Eakin and I have been teaching since 2002. I have taught students from Years 1 to 6 in Western Sydney, Tenterfield and the Lismore area. In my teaching experience I have also been involved in a variety of activities including numerous sports (individual and team sports), academic (debating, public speaking, spelling bee), cultural, leadership and environmental experiences. I try to create a safe and happy environment which allows students and staff opportunities to discover and develop their passions, knowledge and understandings while inspiring life-long learning and an ability to be positive contributors in their local, regional and wider community.
Outside of teaching I enjoy going to church, running, playing hockey and other sports and spending time with my family.
