For the past five years I have been attending university and studying
Bachelor of Primary Education online on a part time basis. I have worked
at Murringo Public School in the Early Stage 1 up to Stage 3 in multi-stage
classrooms as a School Learning Support Officer and closely supported a
student with autism, in particular. My classroom experiences at Murringo,
Weetangera, Rye Park Public Schools and recently at Mornington Public
School in Victoria, has only heightened my interest and my enthusiasm to
persue a supportive role in any community. I also was recently working
with a young adult with special needs on weekends to help and
encourage independent living and to help with social skills with others of
the same age group. It was a very challenging job but one that we both
gained so much from and we still meet up from time to time.
I have a passion for working with children and believe that helping make
their learning a fun and exciting experience only encourages them to
want to learn more. I have the enthusiasm for sharing this with each
individual student, both in the classroom and in the playground. I have
my Working With Children Check clearance (WWC0154488E) and my
Casual Employee Number (389360). I also have a current First Aid
Certificate. I enjoy working alongside students and staff from a variety of
backgrounds and work well in this environment. I have a particular
interest in sport, arts, working with students with special needs, reading
and spending time with my friends and family.
Please find attached my resume. I would love to be a part of the casual
staff at your school and would greatly appreciate it if you could contact
me if an opportunity of working at your school arises.
Yours sincerely,
Meg Galvin

REFERENCE

To whom it may concern,

Meg Galvin worked as an aide in my classroom (at Mornington Primary School) on a part-time basis from
February to September of 2019. Meg was employed to work with an intellectually disabled student in out of
home care who was new to the school. This student arrived at school speaking very little and was very reticent
to engage with adults. Meg was able to develop a positive relationship with this student very quickly and he was
talking and engaging with her in no time. Meg showed genuine care for this student and was invested in
providing a supportive environment for him in the classroom.

During her time in my classroom, Meg’s duties involved;

 Following a daily plan when working one on one with an intellectually disabled student. This involved
engaging the student in gross and fine motor activities, teaching him basic personal care (handwashing,
taking off and putting on clothing and shoes), and basic speech and language development.
 Implementing a literacy support program called MiniLit with a small group of students. This involved
following a prescriptive literacy program, keeping records of the student’s work and progress, and
communicating this with me.

Feel free to contact me for further information or clarification.
