What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and grow professionally.

My name is Shannon Brent, and I am a passionate educator with over 15 years of experience in teaching foundational phases. I have dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning in my students. My journey began at Arbor Park Primary School, where I have had the privilege of teaching various grades, from Grade R to Grade 7. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to adapt my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student.

Throughout my career, I have focused on creating engaging and inclusive learning environments. My qualifications, including a BEd in Foundation Phase and ongoing studies in TEFL, reflect my commitment to professional development and excellence in education. I believe in the power of education to transform lives, and I strive to inspire my students to reach their full potential.
