Are a Le ader (English and Drama)When I first visited Nexus, I was impressed by
the incredible learning environment; it’s something
that inspires me still. Our “classrooms” are truly
versatile spaces, lending themselves to collaborative
work as well as individual expression. It’s wonderful
to have such a canvas to share with learners and
colleagues.
As a teacher, I am able to try different approaches
to learning, for example, using technological tools I
never dreamt of embracing in my past teaching life!
I enjoy interacting with Nexus learners who go the
extra mile and experiment. I have two young Nexus
learners of my own who adore their school and who,
like me, find being part of the learning community
exciting, rewarding and fun.Nexus
