Hello, my name is Petrina.  I am enrolled in the Master of Teaching (Primary-Middle) program, having completed my initial Arts Degree some years ago, majoring in Modern History, Modern Literature and Psychology.  My love of reading has allowed me to escape from the everyday, learn new skills and explore new concepts, and travel the world!  One of the many delights associated with having three precious children has been a renewed daily contact with children’s literature as I’ve read bedtime stories, listened to them read, and tried to keep up with the books my children have been interested in as they’ve become independent readers.  I also hope to be able to nurture a passion for reading in my future students.
