SHEPHERD<br />

FAMILY AND COMMUNITY<br />

In life we come by many people who help us, inspire us and<br />

teach us. I was very lucky to attend Iona Presentation College<br />

where I made friends for life and teachers who instilled<br />

valuable lessons in me. One teacher that helped me and<br />

inspired me was Mrs Shepherd, my teacher for ‘Family and<br />

Community’ studies. I remember always looking forward<br />

to going to Family and Community to learn and discover<br />

something new. Through her positive personality she created<br />

a safe and welcoming learning environment that catered to<br />

diverse learning styles, where everyone felt safe to share and<br />

express ideas.<br />

Mrs Shepherd was a lovely teacher and an amazing person.<br />

I hope one day that I can be half the person she is. I would<br />

like to thank her and Iona for everything that they have given<br />

me as I would not have developed into the individual I am<br />

without them. I have learnt so much and became a part of a<br />

community where I am inspired to make a difference.<br />

I will never forget my time at Iona; it has helped shaped the<br />

person I am today.<br />
