Dear Mr Brown,

RE:

Graduate Teacher 2016 position No 3674523

I wish to apply for the position of Graduate Teacher at Princeton Primary School, as advertised on Recruitment

Online. I have recently graduated from Monash University, Gippsland with a Bachelor of Education. My studies

have provided me with the theoretical grounding and my teaching rounds with the practical experience to

continue growing as the excellent teacher that I strive to be.

I was inspired to apply for the position at Princeton Primary School due to your philosophy that “not all children

are ready to learn the same thing at the same time in the same way”. I found this particularly true during my

school placements where I embraced opportunities to scaffold students’ learning in order to facilitate individually

appropriate stages of learning within a safe and constructive environment.

I am impressed with the range of activities undertaken at the school, such as the Science in Schools and

Reading Recovery programs, and how these are tailored to meet the needs of the students. I am passionate

about being involved in an active school community that is characterised by a willingness to engage new

programs that provide opportunities for students that extend the standard curriculum. The culture of ongoing

self-reflection and improvement that is indicated to me by your School Charter and Code of Practice documents

is very encouraging to me as I am keen to develop my skills as an educator. I am a passionate and enthusiastic

individual who enjoys working with positive people who share my enthusiasm for teaching and learning.

I have a varied repertoire of employment experience and believe that my professional knowledge and skills

together with my personal qualities make me an ideal candidate for this job. My communication skills and

professional approach to teaching have added to the successes I have enjoyed so far in my teaching

experiences which is reflected in the reports of my teaching supervisors (available upon request).

Enclosed are my curriculum vitae and response to the Key Selection Criteria, which together illustrate my

experience and particular skills. I look forward to the opportunity to share with you examples of my experience

and developing teaching practice through my professional portfolio. The link to my iwebfolio is:

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you in

the near future.

Yours sincerely,
