About

I am Althea Farrugia, a passionate educator with extensive experience in early childhood education, care work, and drama. I’ve supported children and families across kindergarten, primary education, and childcare settings, creating inclusive learning spaces that nurture curiosity and social-emotional development. I love collaborating with colleagues and families to help every child thrive, and I bring energy, empathy, and practical classroom skills to every role.

I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Education (Primary) to deepen my understanding of pedagogy and inclusive practices. In my spare time I enjoy drama and writing, and I’ve contributed to school theatre projects and community performances, which have strengthened my creativity, communication, and teamwork—qualities I’m excited to bring into a dynamic educational environment.
