Teacher Profile:
For those of you that don't know me, my name is Virginia McKenna and I have been teaching at Wyrallah Road Public School since 2012, where I have had the privilege of teaching across every stage. This year I am returning to Stage 3, which is very exciting. Prior to teaching, I worked for 25 years with NSW Ambulance as a Paramedic. I am married and I have three children, who are now all out of school. I enjoy sport, cooking, maths, reading, technology and craft and hope that I can help engender a love of some of these in your children.
I adore teaching and watching children learn and become independent. I am planning to have an incredible year with the students and their families and it is my hope that I can extend their learning and get them thinking outside the box.
Class Profile:
5/6M is a class of 30 amazing students. We will be spending the year building on the fantastic wealth of knowledge that they have already obtained throughout their years at school. Our aim as a class is to do some Project Based Learning and look at things from different perspectives, using research tools, lateral thinking and 'hands on' approaches.
