Hi, I completed my studies many years ago at RAU now UJ. Two years ago through the department of education I got a bursary and did the ACE certificate in Maths here at Wits. I really enjoyed this and decided to study further this year. I wanted to study full time but apparently you can't if you have got a full time work!!
This brings me to my 'full time' work. I am a teacher at Elandspark Special School in Bedfordview. This is a school for mild intellectually disabled learners. They are of high school age. They follow an adapted curriculum, as half of the day they spend in practical vocational workshops picking up a trade, such as hairdressing, typing, motor mechanics, building, woodwork, panel beating etc. We have 50 staff members and 3 occupational therapists. I big staff for 750 learners but still to little for their educational needs.
I love coaching cricket and athletics as well as the gumboots group (for our eisteddfod) in our school. I am also a qualified score keeper and empire in cricket, which takes up a little less time than coaching, but still keeps me close to the sport I love.
I love challenges and it was really a toss up between on line learning or Maths. This time on line learning won and I love every second of it.
