Miss Aislinn Callinan - Years 3-6 Teacher

After growing up in Brisbane, I completed a Bachelor of Creative and Professional Writing, then went on to study a Masters of Primary Education while working as a Governess on cattle stations in Northern Queensland. My first teaching position was in Surat in a Year 4 classroom in 2022. I began teaching the Year 3 to 6 class at St Patrick's School in 2023 and I feel grateful to be a part of a multi-age classroom. Being a multi-age class, the students are inclusive and collaborative. They learn many skills that prove challenging when in a straight year level class. I enjoy listening to the students' passions and challanges and working with other staff members here at St Pat's to ensure every student feels supported, and each need is met.
