About Norah

Her ability to teach literacy and instil a joy of literacy into everyone in her class was amazing. Her creativity was very special. She really looked for different ways to help children enjoy school and was a keen advocate for hands-on learning experiences. She was always positive with her students and her classrooms were always full of children’s work. Her classroom was always fabulous. Her ability to teach a love of learning was evident every year. She utilised many different strategies including poetry and music into her lessons and the children responded. She was always here until dark and always at school early. She was continually making resources and planning so that her students received the very best she could offer.

It has been a pleasure to work with Norah. Norah has always engaged enthusiastically with multi-level and endeavoured to ensure all materials and resources were appropriate and of the highest quality for students and teachers.

As a professional, Norah was one of the most creative and innovative teachers I have had the pleasure to work with. She had a real skill in developing lessons where children could show their real abilities and go beyond where they thought they could. Her passion for using great literature, mixing it with technology and combining this with her own writing skills made for a fantastic learning environment for the children in her class. The children were motivated to be creative, be challenged and dare I say it, have fun!

Thank you very much for the opportunity to experience and share in the joy of your class this year. I learn so much from every class I visit, and I have found my encounter with your class an enrichening and rewarding experience.

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher for M. We appreciate all that you do for M. and all the class. Thank you for the way you have given M. such individual attention. You know her and know exactly how to extend her — for all of this we are extremely grateful.

I can’t put into words how to thank you enough for all of your wonderful work you have done with our children this year, especially of course most important to myself, H. You have made it obvious that teaching is not just your job but your passion as well with all of the little extra things you do to make your students’ first year of school extra special. To see H. go from not wanting to come to school at all to telling me that ‘I just love Mrs Colvin, Mum,’ must show you just how much of an impact you have. From the extra words of support and encouragement, the notes and gifts at the beginning and end of each term and the time you took in helping us overcome our learning hurdles you have taken that extra step to make you an extra special person and for that you should be proud.

Dear Mrs Colvin, you are the best teacher in the world. From you student Zara!
