Early Learning Centre
| Ms Erin Jolly ELC Assistant |
Erin is a past employee at St Catherine’s School ELC – and we happily welcome her return. Erin is a highly qualified ELC Teacher who has chosen to step into an assistant role for the time being. Erin was most recently working at Melbourne Girls Grammar and Caulfield Grammar. Having previously worked with our current ELC team, and as a current parent, she has great admiration for St Catherine’s ELC’s care, dedication and commitment to their students and families. Erin’s background in Performing Arts and Dance add to her extensive experience, where her passion for Early Childhood Education shows in her skills to inspire, extend and support children’s interests and learning.
| Ms Melissa Meirun ELC Teacher |
With a background in journalism and communications, Melissa’s greatest passion lies in the enchantment of words, language, and the creative visual arts. With the initial intention to author and illustrate a series of children’s picture storybooks, Melissa found herself enrolling in her Master of Teaching in Early Childhood to better understand young learners. After her first 10-days of placement, Melissa has been educating young minds for five years. Melissa believes the role of an early childhood educator is paramount to the growth and development of a child and aims to promote joy through play, inquiry and nature based learning, and fostering pre-emerging literacy and numeracy skills.
