Sarah Reed

reed-sarah.jpgSarah is interested in Maths, Primary School Teaching and becoming a Marine Scientist. Sarah will speak to her parents about doing work experience at the local Numurkah Primary School, in the senior classes, and she will also explore the cold calling site http://ezine.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/toolkit/Cold%20Calling/player.html and see if she can build up the courage to approach the primary school for work experience. It’s a cool site, and I’m sure she will gather alot of information from it. Sarah is to see me again next Friday 9th May.
