When Kami was considering her next career move, she wasn't just looking for another teaching position. She was looking for an opportunity to use her skills in a meaningful way while continuing to grow as an educator and leader.
Today, as an English Faculty Leader and teacher in the Northern Territory, she has found exactly that.
For Kami, the appeal of the Northern Territory was the opportunity to work with a diverse range of students and bring her experience to a different educational setting.
"I was inspired to work in the NT so I could offer my skills and expertise to a wide range of students with varying learning needs."
The move provided an opportunity to broaden her professional experience while working in a unique part of Australia.
When searching for roles, Kami was looking for leadership opportunities that aligned with her skills and career goals.
"Lu was very supportive and positive and aligned me with jobs that matched my experience."
"I found Prospero Group professional and attentive to my needs as an educator seeking a range of leadership opportunities in the NT."
Today, Kami enjoys a role that combines leadership and classroom teaching.
"I love teaching Year 7 Dance and am very grateful for the job opportunities I have been given. I get to be a Leader of English and a junior school Dance teacher and I find it very rewarding."
One of the highlights of the experience has been working alongside students and staff from diverse backgrounds.
"I love teaching Indigenous students in my classrooms. I also love the cultural diversity in the staff cohort."
The opportunity to work in such a diverse environment has been one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching in the Territory.
While professional growth has been a major benefit of the move, Kami has also embraced the lifestyle that comes with living in the Northern Territory.
"The best part is the tropical weather, the friendships and the students!"
Although there have been some adjustments along the way, the transition has been largely positive.
"The weather can be challenging and the processes in the schools are slightly different, but overall no major challenges."
For other educators considering a move, Kami encourages them to be open to the opportunities available.
"Embrace the diversity these opportunities offer you and the amazing Australian cultural experience."
