A Word from Debbie
August 31, 2015 12:42 pmHi all!
My name is Debbie. I have been lucky enough to have worked at Jumbunna for many..many years. Just to give you a hint about how long I have been at Jumbunna I can let you know some past students have left high school and have moved into University or a range of occupations!!
During this time I have not only had the privilege of working with amazing children and their families but a range of knowledgeable, dedicated staff.
Over the time some people have made the comment, “You have the best job, you get to play all day”. Well I suppose I do but there are many reasons why! At Jumbunna we support learning and development through play. Play goes through many stages and has many multiple benefits including –
- Providing opportunities to interact with others and to develop social skills
- Building problem solving skills and increases self esteem
- Promoting creativity, imagination and independence
- Providing opportunities for all children regardless of ability or background to mix together
Please take a few minutes to read one of my favourite poems about play. Thanks for reading and keep playing!!
Debbie
