I often stress how I don't go anywhere without my koosh ball. It is such a versatile little tool.
Today it struck me that another essential item in my teaching toolbox is definitely a whistle on a lanyard! I automatically put it around my neck for any outside duty or activity. If the school has given me a key for the classroom this key also goes on the lanyard for safe keeping.
My voice is one aspect of my health I have to be very conscious of. I have managed to damage my vocal cords over the years and as a consequence, I am extremely proactive in vocal protection techniques. Without over using the whistle, it is tool I would not be without in the open space of the playground.
Happy whistling!
Live, laugh, learn.....

About Me
- Carmel
- I treasure the twenty plus years teaching experience I have in Catholic Education in Australia both in the classroom and in teaching administration roles. During this time I have had the pleasure of working with all year levels in some capacity from Prep to Year 7. Due to family committments in 2001, I choose to commence relief/supply teaching as well as short term classroom contracts. I am passionate about the needs of the individual learner and I am continually building on my knowledge and skills through study and research. I am pleased to be able to share this knowledge bank with fellow teaching professionals.
