Worked as an integral part of the school teaching staff, helping in all the spheres of school life including coaching, taking substitute classes and leading outings off of the school premises, providing pastoral care and working as a manual labourer on the school grounds for the year. The boys aged 7 – 13 years old required me to be understanding and supportive. The year abroad also gave me the opportunity to be independent while having to be responsible for not only myself but the boys I was working with.
