Take it to the Limit

Well, here I am, finally joining the web 2.0 revolution (after getting a distinction in my e-learning class) with my own, fully customised blog.

So anyway, my followers at the moment are people who are used to my Facebook blogs. Unfortunately, unlike that particular blog, this is a mainly professional/personal learning network blog, therefore there will be a few changes.

First of all, there will still be pictures. However, they will be related to the blog content, and not strictly eye candy. This is the only sort of strumpet you'll see on here: -

Mata Hari is such a harlot!

Secondly, it's going to be much more focused on my study and on my learning - things such as my charity work experiences, classes, research and blah blah blah.

And thirdly, there will be this. An introduction of sorts.

So, my name is Renee, and I look rather like this: -


I am in my final year of studying an absolutely ridiculous sounding degree: - Bachelor of Education (Secondary) majoring in English and Drama, and a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English and Creative Arts and minoring in Literature and Theatre Studies. Basically, this leads me to being an English and Drama teacher.

I grew up in Boyanup down in the south west of WA and spent all my schooling years in public high schools in the country. Despite that, I've made my way through university and received a scholarship for my final years of study. However I did find that a number of my teachers were quite disappointing and were scraping the bottom of the barrel. Because of that I would love to teach in the country system, or in hard to staff schools.

The plan has me finishing my degree this year, and doing a year of teaching over here before heading off to do a year of teaching in the UK (hopefully Ireland), Canada and then Africa. My charity work has inspired me in this - the Oaktree Foundation is awesome, and I came on during their oneday campaign of last year. They're such inspiring people, and it's such an energising and rewarding experience.


Besides from all the education stuff, I am a singer, an actor, a musician and a baker. You can see samples of my music on the sidebar. I've studied jazz and classical as well as contemporary piano, and have been acting since I was in primary school. I adore my pass times and the people that I've met through them and through my different classes.

Well, that's about it for now. Hope you all enjoyed it.
