Ms Patricia Kalligas

ICT Reference Teacher

Personal Message
As an ICT reference teacher I aspire to make a positive difference not only in my own classroom, but also throughout the whole school community. I am passionate about using technology in the classroom to enhance quality teaching practices. The use of ICT is a significant motivational factor in students’ learning and can support students’ engagement with collaborative learning. 

The use of a variety of technologies in the classroom allows students to develop the necessary skills and tools to operate in a rapidly changing world. When teachers and students are digitally literate this leads to an opportunity to develop and use creative and critical thinking skills to solve real world problems.

Statement of Areas of Responsibility
As an ICT reference teacher, Patricia is responsible for supporting the students, teachers and parents in the community to access and best utilise technology to assist with learning and collaboration. 

Professional Experience
Patricia has worked at St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School Summer Hill, since 2016 as a classroom teacher and  ICT reference teacher. Prior to this, Patricia worked as a classroom teacher and ICT teacher at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Primary School Kingsgrove.
