Middle School Teachers
“School should be a place which students are provided with a safe environment which they feel supported to grow as learners, leaders and confident individuals.
In the classroom, I encourage students to be involved and engaged within their learning and be able to communicate and collaborate with others. It is important to make lessons meaningful and relevant to the them so that they have the skills to succeed within the community and into the future.”
“I believe that each student is talented and has great capability to develop and learn. It is my goal as a teacher to guide students to meet their fullest potential by providing a positive learning environment where students can become motivated learners. My passion as an educator is not to just teach students knowledge, but nurture them with warm support, care, and constant encouragement.”
“Crossways is a school where the teachers care for each and every student, it’s a place where anyone can get a fresh start, it’s a school that communicates with Parents and Caregivers regularly and ensures all students are attempting all tasks and working to their personal best.
Crossways is a Christ-centred school with values everything educational and strives to keep up-to-date with the latest curriculum and keeping its staff educated, not only through professional developments on campus but also off.”
“I believe that students thrive is a positive and safe environment which Crossways certainly provides.
As a music tutor I am blessed to teach students one on one or in a very small group enabling me to get to know them individually and their own musical tastes and preferences. Each student has their unique way of learning and I like to focus on improving any weekness’s and further developing their strengths through praise and encouragement and most importantly, making it fun!”

“As a foreign language teacher it is my aim to expose students to the German language, as well as bring them closer to other cultures. I endeavour to open students’ minds and broaden their horizons. It has been proven that developing second language abilities in young people helps cognitive abilities. I encourage the students to think outside of the box and sit outside of their comfort zones to attempt using their new knowledge. It is my goal to make the process of learning German as fun and hands on as possible.
Crossways students love a challenge!”
