Kylah Watts
Glenvale State School
Ambitious academic results are being achieved by Prep pupils at a Toowoomba school thanks to an inspiring teacher who is dedicated to making a difference in children’s lives.
Glenvale State School teacher Kylah Watts, who has worked as a volunteer at a Cambodian orphanage during her holidays, has been praised for her commitment and dedication to students.
School leaders have nominated her for a Queensland College of Teachers Excellence in Beginning to Teach Award for her outstanding work.
As the school’s Prep Year Pedagogical Leader, Kylah leads five teachers and six teacher aides, and a program which has helped students meet high academic and social and behavioural targets.
She has set up an early years network in which schools share teaching practice, is the school’s transition officer for pre-Preps coming into the primary school and also leads the school’s rock Eisteddfod, which this year has made it to the finals for “Story of the Year”.
This year Kylah has a diabetic student and a boy with life-threatening medical issues in her class and she has worked hard to ensure he is able to engage in challenging and rigorous academic activities.
She has also led fundraising activities for Diabetes raising over $3000 for the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).
Kylah mentors colleagues, hosts student teachers and organises many staff events.
Congratulations Kylah on your nomination.
