Dear Students and Parents,
My name is Caitlin Bettess and I have been studying teaching at the university of Adelaide for the past 3 years.
I will be doing my placement at Harvest Christian College from the 29th of April to the 24th of May. I am looking forward to getting to know each student individually.
Over this time, I will be teaching Rights and Freedom to the year 10 history students and Gothic Poetry to year 12 English students. I will also be teaching year 10 English, looking at Romeo and Juliet and in year 11 English we will be doing a vod-cast.
I am sure I will thoroughly enjoy teaching and I look forward to being a part of the Harvest Christian College community.
Kindest Regards and God Bless,
Caitlin Bettess.
