About Me

My name is Rachel Kelly I am 24 years old and I am in my third year of teaching. After attending the University of New England I was employed at Gloucester Public School on a 4/5 class full time temporary. Last year I was then placed on a year 3/4 class full time at the same school. I then applied for an advertised permanent position at Tamworth West Public School as a Teacher Librarian, which I was lucky enough to be offered after being successful at interview. I started working at Tamworth West in September last year without any real library experience, just some little things that I had picked up along the way at my previous school.
I have created this blog because I am am enrolled at CSU to gain a Graduate Certificate in Teacher Librarianship, and this blog was one of the requirements. I hope to get a huge amount out of this course, from teaching kids how to competently research using the information process to generally promoting a love of literature. I am very excited to be taking part in this course to further my knowledge and usefulness in the library.
Hello to everyone doing the course that I met on Thurs,Fri in Sydney. Hope to chat and look at your blogs soon too!
