About Me - Mija
For those that don’t know me, I’m Mija and I have lived in the area for the last 14 years. I have previous experience in education support from helping my two children navigate School of the Air up to year 6-7. I moved into Hawker in October 2024 and started working at Hawker Area School at the commencement of term 4. Initially, I spent my time in the SWAN room which was a completely new area of support work that I hadn’t previously experienced. This year I have enjoyed working with the SWAN and 3-6 classrooms. Recently, I have transitioned into the front office alongside Jodi and provide support to the SWAN when required. I enjoy the different dynamics each classroom provides and pride myself on my ability to adapt to new situations. When I first started, I didn’t think I would know many of the children. However, I soon discovered that I know the parents of many of the children attending the school. Meeting all these new little faces has been a delight; especially getting to know them better and watching them grow in an educational setting. Currently, I am completing an archaeology degree and will go on to complete an honours degree in 2026. Working at the school provides me with the flexibility to study and to spend time with my children during the school holidays.
