Emily's Profile

Hi my name is Emily Edgar, i am a 22 year old single mum of a little two year old boy called Liam. I am currently in my last year of my Bachelor of Education at Latrobe University in Bendigo.

As a child i grew up on a farm, where we had cattle and grew crops. Due to our farm location i attended a small rural school called Bunnaloo, we had only three teachers when i started and only about 30 children. I grew up with my primary school teachers being my neighbours and close friends with my parents, so if we did not do our homework or got in trouble mum and dad always found out. Going to school was exciting for me with my parents always working and only having one brother, life at home was quite some times. I had a great primary school experience with my teachers being very dedicated and passionate. We always did fun and exciting things, lots of active activities, we also did work sheets but not all the time. I can remember many interesting and fun things about learning at school, i believe that the connection i had with my teachers really helped my learning. Having trust and feeling wanted and secure was very important in my learning through out primary school.

Here is a link to my old Primary School if you wish to have a look at it in its current state.
