I am doing my prac at Rozelle Public School
I have just completed Week 1 of my final prac at Rozelle PS and I am really enjoying it! The children are a really lovely mixed ability group of Year 5's, and my Associate Teacher is amazing. Her feedback is clear and constructive - she is definitely a role model and awesome mentor. I feel very lucky and am looking forward to the next 4 weeks.
