Skye Myers, BA Dip Ed., began teaching Classical Studies almost ten years ago at Bendigo Senior Secondary College. She has also taught Philosophy and Twentieth Century History in her time as a VCE teacher and has taken students on international trips to enhance their understanding of classical civilisations.
In supporting Skye’s application for a position at Alice Miller, one of her ex-students (and an ex-Candlebark student) wrote: “Skye has been one of the most inspiring women and teachers that I have had the pleasure of knowing throughout my schooling life. Skye worked with such dedication and care for our individual needs and always treated us with respect. Although I was in a classroom of 25+ students, I always felt as though my opinions and thoughts mattered and belonged. She consistently gave detailed and considered feedback on all of my work and asked for feedback on her teaching in return. Her classes became the defining experience of my attitudes, confidence and wellbeing in my VCE years.”
Aside from being a die-hard advocate for the Greek Classical world over the Roman, she is a wife, mother, chicken wrangler, classical Cellist, yoga teacher, devotee of starchy carbohydrates and a very keen knitter and crochet-er. She is married with a young daughter.
