Hannah is a secondary English teacher who believes in championing the integral need for literacy to be accessible, engaging and celebrated.
She will be using the Bursary funds to undertake further study in a Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) with the intention of eventually creating a digital space centred on how to embed a greater focus on critical literacy across all subjects.
