Letter to the family

Hi,

My name is Grace, I'm currently in first year at university, having an amazing time but realising that the conventional education system isn't for me. After my gap year travelling around South America I would love to travel again. I began my Gap Year working as a gap student at a prep school local to me in which I worked 9-4 in the pre school and reception, and helping out with the after school club, running sports and activities for kids aged 5-13. This was a hugely rewarding experience in which I became close to the children, colleagues and other gap students. Similarly, I have a lot of experience baby sitting, working at after school camps and grew up with 12 cousins making video stars, having sleep overs and in an extremely sociable family.

I was very privileged to go to Bradfield college, a weekly boarding school in which I played first team netball, hockey and tennis (slightly more than focusing on my studies!), I was head of sport in my boarding house and spent the best 5 years living with all my friends and also getting involved in school plays. I also volunteered in programs such as 'ABC to read' in which I would go and help read to primary school kids in the local school. I love working with children and my gap year experience opened my eyes to become interested in becoming a teacher. I would absolutely love to be an au pair as I grew up with aupairs in which I got on so well with. I have grown up with 3 dogs, cats and turtles so am happy to look after animals!

Experience

I have been lucky enough to travel with family and friends over the years, my mum grew up in Perth and as a result Australia is somewhere I would love to go and live. Due to her background I have an Australian passport which is really lucky. I absolutely love children and so the idea of looking after a family and building a relationship with kids would be amazing, whilst also living in a new city and meeting new people. Whilst working at the prep school in my gap year, I created amazing connections wit the children and thrived with the responsibility of working with a big group, creating fun and games, whilst also watching how the teachers addressed the children in a friendly and captivating way. I also worked with a child with autism, helping him out whilst the rest of the class did activities that he couldn't quite contribute with. I have since visited him and his family and the relationship we built was something I will never forget/
