Hi everyone, my name is Helen. I'm a wife, mother of three, daughter and daughter-in-law. I'm also a sister to 12 siblings (no that's not a typo !) sister-in-law, aunty to 50 nieces and nephews, great aunt to 13, yoga enthusiast and a walker of two dogs!!
Born in the UK and moved to Perth with my husband Tony and two young son's Karl and Ben in 1991. In 1995 our family extended to include our daughter Charlotte and a beagle named Henry. Sadly, Henry is no longer with us, but his successors Missy and Jack have since joined our rabble.In 2000 I decided to change my career and work in the school system, working alongside children with special needs as an Education Assistant. Over the years my role has evolved, moving away from children who have special needs to those children who all too often 'slip through the cracks'.
This often challenging, but enormously rewarding role has resulted in my passion to teach. I'm still working full time while studying which results in lots of late nights but the promise of a career in teaching prompts me to keep going!
