Hello everyone, my name is Richard Owens. I am the Assistant Head of Primary at the Australian International School Singapore. I look forward to meeting you all.

Hi Richard, I had a chance to visit your school about five years ago now and I still remember how beautiful it was, the local artwork around the school and a nice group of teachers. I'm sure you're very busy at the moment getting ready to host the regional workshops to be held there this coming weekend. I hope it goes really well!

Hi
I am the Teacher Librarian and ICT Co-ordinator at St Andrews Lutheran College, Queensland Australia.
See you soon.
Julia Boulton

Welcome Julia. Wow, you've got a lot on your plate! Are those two positions just in the primary or do you work school-wide?

Hi Kassanra,
My main area is in the primary school (Prep - Year 6), but I do work across campus when necessary in an advisory capacity. We have two libraries but I am the only Teacher Librarian. I have worked in the Senior and Middle Schools at SALC. Currently, I am on cross campus committees that allow me to have a global input in both TL and ICT and this allows me keep the communication channels open.

Hi Maria Elena. I look forward to meeting you as well. I used to teach grade 4 and have to say it was my favorite grade level to teach. There is so much that can be done with technology integration by that time, so I look forward to sharing with you what our 4th grade students are doing.

Thanks. =)
