I taught Business Studies to year 10, 11, and 12 and ICT year 10 and 11 on a part time basis at The Seychelles International School while in the last three years I was extensively involved with functional skills in mathematics.
I was the ICT head in both KS 3 and 4 to learners having mixed abilities and needs in 16-19 age range. I assessed the learners in the course of their study in Business Studies and ICT.

This included the preparation of study materials for classroom including text book, worksheets, workshops and group exercises. I planned, set and assessed student’s class and homework. I monitored the performance of pupils in my class and provided encouragement to those who needed additional support. Since Swifts Creek Secondary College was a very small and the most remote school in the state of Victoria, the classes were extremely small with some classes such as Legal Studies in year 12 attracting only two students. On the other hand, the school had very little resources and as a teacher, resources had to be improvised.
For Food Technology, I prepared class materials for the theory classes at all three levels and also prepared cooking class materials for the practical classes. On a termly basis i also prepared for theoretical exams. Extreme monitoring was necessary for the practical classes due to the high probability of accidents and severe cuts, burns or hard falls from spills. Part of the duties of the Food Technology teacher is also to stock take, rotate and place orders for kitchen stock and adhere to strict budgets.
