Welcome,
Please, allow me to start by welcoming you to my E-Portfolio. I am Miss Skye-Anne Cooke. I warmly invite you to explore my E-Portfolio and view the provided work samples.
Here is some background information about the school that I have recently completed my final practicum at. The school is located in a low-socioeconomic area and has just undertaken the 'Eurg' process by the Education Department. The school is currently in a period of transition focusing on the points noted by the department.
Student population:

The number of classrooms:
- 14 Classrooms including purpose-built kindergarten, music, art, Parents and community, and library room.
- Year 2 has the most prominent student number (40) of the year groups.
- The smallest group being year 4 (25 students)
- The early childhood section has a total of 65 children in Kindergarten and Pre-primary and an additional 71 students in years 1 and 2.
Ethnic mix:
- The school has a wide range of ethnicities within the school. The following ethnicities are listed in order from the highest ethnic make-up to the smallest prominent ethnic make-up. It should be noted that these are only SOME of the groups and the school holds a wide ethnic range.

Special features of the school:

School focus:
- Learning for life which supported through 7 positive lifestyle habits
- Attendance (increasing student attendance and decreasing student rates of unexplained absences)
- Mutual respect
Events I experienced while on prac:
- EDUdance (a dance program run for nine weeks including an end of term concert)
