Blake
Blake teaches Indonesian at Open Access College. Her love for Indonesian grew at Largs Bay Primary & LeFevre High. Studied at Adelaide Uni and teaching since 2012. Blake is proud of committee accomplishments over the past 6 years and is inspired for the future of Indonesian in schools.
Blake has learnt words in Kaurna, Dutch & Auslan. She teaches Psychology which highlights how culture shapes our attitude and behaviour. Her hobbies include knitting & crochet, plants, cinema & brunch with family & friends.
Blake loves pineapples & other tropical fruit. Listens to Hindia & the Changcutters. Loves watching sunsets at Jimbaran Bay.
Blake’s advice is to set up predictable routines. Start lessons with greetings & gratitude. Brain breaks (breathe, stretch, songs and games) help refocus attention. Small habits daily: read a short text or play Katla.
