Our Teachers
Just as a child learns from things that surround them, so teachers must themselves be worthy of a child's imitation.
Mary Jacka joined our teaching team at the beginning of 2014, and continues to hold the children and families of the Kingfisher Room. Mary completed her final placement at the kindergarten for her studies, it was during this time that her knowledge and experience were recognised and at the next opportunity she was offered a permanent position.
