A new school....

This year, I begin a permanent full-time role as a Teacher Librarian and 2022 is the start of the next stage in my professional journey. I am based at a secondary girls' school on Sydney's Upper North Shore.

It is a thrill to be in this role and should be very rewarding in the years to come.

School has only been open a week and I am in the "swing of things" and adjusting to the routine that comes with this role.

I will continue to share and reflect on some of the initatives that I undertake and reflect on any professional learning that I engage in.

COVID-19 has sapped alot out of us but I did make good use of this time to brush up not just on school libraries, but also my broader role as an educator.

It is great that schools are open as normal even as we in Sydney experience our third and worst wave of the pandemic but also the fact that infection rates have dropped in time for the school year. Yes, there will be a rise a cases, but we will be on top of it.

It's great too to be working within the library space itself. Working from home can have its limitations for people like us.
