My Australian teacher exchange experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. The warmth and hospitality extended by Marymount School have been truly remarkable. From being a guest coach at an exhilarating AFL carnival to immersing myself in my first Rugby League match, every moment has been filled with excitement and new experiences. Not to mention, the calves in Agricultural Science class have made it feel like home.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my exchange has been sharing my passion for Canadian geography, trivia, and notable Canadian figures with eager students. Their enthusiasm and engagement have been inspiring, creating a dynamic cultural knowledge exchange.
Beyond the classroom, being in the breathtaking Gold Coast of Australia has allowed me to explore stunning beaches, and picturesque headlands, and clock countless miles on my bicycle. The natural beauty here is simply awe-inspiring.
Marymount School has offered a unique perspective on education. The structured support and resources available to students ensure their success, setting a standard that sparked innovative ideas for my school back home.
Garrett, my exchange teacher here, exudes an infectious passion for History, Geography, and Religious Studies. His dedication has been both inspiring and educational, enriching my experience even further.
This exchange has been a profound opportunity for personal and professional growth. It also allowed me the opportunity to do some solo travels and further explore this remarkable country, I am already planning my return to the land down under. Australia has captured my heart, and I cannot wait to share my newfound insights and experiences with my students and colleagues back home.
