Working in Education has been a series of unexpected opportunities and insights. Farrant's Magpie began with a simple photograph, captured during a photography class I was assisting with. It was one of my students who first spotted the bird, perched quietly, as if waiting to be noticed. The magpie is a familiar sight at the school - nestled among bushland and frequented by these birds.

Working as an Education Assistant has not only allowed me to guide others, but it has also guided me toward my own sense of peace and purpose. The students I work with, often unknowingly and unintentionally (occasionally despite their intention), are constant reminders of this path. 

For my part, perhaps in finding my place in the world, I have guided others towards finding theirs in small but not insignificant way.
