Cheryl Bates.

Secondary Teacher

Ms Cheryl’s passion for teaching began when she assisted in a workshop for upper primary children and has been interested in education ever since. Encouraged by the experience, she decided to dive into the education field like many of her family before her. With a background in technology and writing, she has a genuine interest in writing and technology related subjects, having served as a tech journalist for 10 years prior to her teaching career. Ms Cheryl believes that 21st century skills are important to flourish in the fast-paced global environment that awaits each young adult once they graduate school. Beyond teaching, Ms Cheryl also enjoys sword fighting, crafting and often runs tabletop roleplaying games in her leisure time.
