AFTER 10 years of financial planning, leaping into education was a bold move for mother of two Hannah Arnold, but one that was worth the risk as she comes to the end of her studies and embarks on her new career with Shepparton ACE Secondary College in term three of the school year.
“I wanted to work with kids. I’ve always wanted to do that but I’d been working in financial planning for about 10 years, and it felt like the right time to change direction, so I went back to university,” said Hannah.
After completing placements at other schools, Hannah found her home at ACE Secondary College.
“I like the small environment, it’s completely different to any school that I attended myself or have done other placements since this is my third placement while at Uni.
“The small school is great. I probably know all the years seven, eight, and nine students having only been here a few weeks. They offer really great camping programs and just different experiences. I think they do a really good job looking after the kids. I’ve been impressed with the great staff, everyone’s very supportive in the small environment.”
