Ms Wardha

Principal

Qualified educator in early childhood with over 10 years of experience. Over the years, I have learnt that change is the only constant in life. Thus, the ability to adapt and be flexible in my teaching and/or leading approach is essential as it determines the effectiveness in how I communicate with those around me. I believe to effectively lead and/or teach requires me to actively listen with the aim to understand and reflect on how to properly facilitate learning in young children. As mentioned by Mr. Alvin Toffler, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

I am a firm believer in the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning. It is one that allows the children’s voices to be heard and have autonomy over their own learning with the teachers as facilitators. As they have fun and are kept engaged in the various learning experiences, their critical thinking skills are nurtured when making sense of their learning. What draws me even more to this approach is how the learning goes both ways between the educators and the learners. With different perspectives, it teaches one to embrace and respect each other’s differences which then leads to a richer, deeper and more meaningful learning experience.

Ms Kirsten

English Teacher

I am an energetic, creative and flexible person and thrive in a classroom setting. As a mother of two and a teacher I am committed to developing young minds in the classroom and at home from a holistic perspective. I believe all spheres of a child’s development need to be nurtured carefully in order to raise well balanced children who will become well adjusted adults later in life. I have spent 4 years working and studying to gain a Bachelor of education in the foundation phase.

I adore working with children, and pride myself in creating a warm and friendly environment where students feel safe and motivated to explore and learn in order to reach their highest potential. I try to instill the value of respect for each person’s individuality as well as celebrating diversity of cultures within the classroom. As a British citizen raised in South Africa, as well as my previous teaching experiences in bilingual settings I am well experienced in diverse classrooms.

Learning can only take place in a warm environment where learners feel safe and free to explore and express themselves without fear of rejection. I believe in building each learner up by highlighting their individual strengths in order to create the confidence needed to tackle challenging areas of their learning journey. I strongly believe in the philosophy of enquiry based learning through varied methods and strategies in order to build creative thinkers committed to lifelong learning.

I adore facilitating young learning through my creativity and have found Pegasus to be the perfect place to do this. I am so pleased to be a part of the school and look forward to meeting you all. Thank you

English Teacher

Hi everyone, I’m Ms Aishah holding a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education with Distinction from Deakin University. With more than 7 years of experience, I believe that children learn best when they are involved in their learning. During my free time, I enjoy going to the beach and watching thrilling movies which ignites suspense and excitement with my family members. With my experience with different types of behaviours, I look forward to bringing out the best in your children and to personally meet you!

Ms Maryanne

English Teacher

Hello, I am Ms Maryanne. I believe in the philosophy of Loris Malaguzzi, “Our task is to help children to communicate with the world, using all their potential, strengths and languages and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture.” And I stand with him on this idea, there is no greater task in helping the next generation be confident with themselves and develop their capabilities to equip them as they grow older.

I believe that being an early childhood educator is my calling. I dedicate myself in helping the younger ones become the best version of themselves.

Over the years, Maggie Lao Shi believes that effective learning takes place when children are given the autonomy over their own learning. In additional, she enjoys embedding play experience into the lesson implementation, “Children learn best when they are engaged with the learning experience. I think games are one of the best ways to teach children language concepts.”

Libby Laoshi

Mandarin Teacher

Hi everyone! I am Ms Libby, I joined the early childhood industry in 2010 and the initial reason I joined this industry is because I purely like children.

After I joined this industry, I understand more deeply the importance of teaching and learning in Early Childhood.

Mr. Tao Xingzhi once said, “Teaching people starts at an early age, and young children are like seedlings.

I am very happy to join this school and accompany our lovely children to grow up happily and healthily in a quality learning environment.

大家好,我是MS Libby ,我在2010年就加入这个幼教行业，加入这个行业最初的原因是我纯粹的喜欢小孩子。

进入这行后，我更深刻的了解到幼教的保教的重要性。陶行知先生曾说：“教人要从小教起，幼儿如幼苗，必须培养得宜，方能茁壮成长。

我很开心能加入这所学校，陪着我们可爱的孩子们一同在优质的学习环境中快乐健康的成长。
