A Note From Miss Atterton

Dear Families,

My name is Katie Atterton and I will be working as a student teacher in your child’s classroom for the next ten weeks. I am in the fourth and final year of my Bachelor of Education Degree and I will be graduating this December from the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to complete my final placement at Wattle Grove Primary School alongside Mrs Szczepanik in her wonderful year three class. I will be working with the students in your child's class in various capacities with both small group and whole class teaching across various learning areas. My teaching load and responsibilities with the students will gradually increase over the course of the term.

During my previous student teaching placements I have taught kindergarten and pre-primary aged children, I’m eager to gain experience working with year three students. My background includes many years working in childcare and tutoring high school students who were behind in their literacy skills. Throughout my placement at Wattle Grove I hope to create a learning environment that fosters imagination and creativity, a space where students feel safe, supported and experience a sense of belonging. I’m passionate about building a community of learners that facilitates student’s collaborative engagement together and encourages them to reach their fullest potential.

I am truly looking forward to beginning my student teaching position at Wattle Grove Primary School. I believe this term will be full of learning, not only for the students but for myself as well! Thank you for this opportunity.


Sincerely,


Katie Atterton
