OSHC Assistant Director & Certified Supervisor
Through engaging in professional learning and improving my practice I have participated in various jobs and courses that have updated my knowledge and teaching practices. Firstly, when I chose to go down the teaching profession I wanted to get a job that would provide professional learning and improve my practice. I achieved this by getting a job at Hillcrest Primary Out of School Hours Care in early 2012. This allowed me to work with children on a weekly basis which help me improved as a teacher. Below is a letter provided by my manager Tanya Grierson, which details my roles and responsibilities at Hillcrest Primary OSHC. Furthermore, through my time working at Hillcrest OSHC I have become the main Assistant Director and have received a certificate from the Education and Early Childhood Services Registration and Standards Board of South Australia recognising me as a certified supervisor. This supervisor certificate enables me to be nominated as the nominated supervisor of an education and care service and to be the responsible person present at the education and care service premises in the absence of the approved provider or the nominated supervisor.

I have completed the Senior First Aid course.
