Lin Turner
Teacher
During my time at East Shore School I worked in many areas of the school from Nursery to Post 16.�I trained as a Makaton tutor in 1998 and spent 2 years developing communication systems and resources for the school and individual students. I was delighted to be appointed as one of the 6th form tutors when Mary Rose School opened and have had a very busy year with the students.
We took a great deal of time before Christmas choosing furniture, equipment and curtains for our new area and the students were thrilled to see the finished rooms in the new building.�We had great fun unpacking al the plates, saucepans and cutlery etc. and of course we recycled the packaging materials, as recycling is one of the enterprises in the 6th form.�I enjoy the company of the students in the 6th form and work with the staff team to encourage them to develop their independence skills and the confidence to use these in the wider community.
