KARREN Pollerd is a Visual Arts Teacher at ACE College. She loves the intimacy of working in a small school and being able to know all the staff, as well as the students.
“This is my ninth year teaching at ACE College and I’ve seen the school undergo enormous evolution and transformation, while staying true to the values and ethos of ACE. This commitment has enabled us to cater to students more broadly.
“We’re fortunate to have small classes with just 15 kids, which makes it more manageable to engage students in the curriculum and meet each students’ specific needs,” she said.
Karren finds watching the students grow into flourishing young adults incredibly rewarding and said ACE has the freedom and flexibility to offer their students opportunities that they might not necessarily have otherwise, allowing them to thrive.
“ACE really promotes getting kids out and about and subjects are designed to give them opportunities that will expose them to the world. All camps and excursions are paid for by the school, providing young people with valuable experiences they might otherwise miss out on like going overseas or going to the snow,” said Karren.
Shepparton ACE Secondary College aims to provide a safe and supportive small school environment that caters for individual needs. To learn more or to book a tour, please phone 5831 4029.
