General Information

Welcome to Room 5A!
My name is Toni Densem. I started teaching in 2004 and have taught a range of year levels throughout my teaching career.
After having my own children my passion and knowledge for the early years of a child's life began to grow. I am passionate about the transition between early years into school and preparing students' for the start of their primary school learning journey.
I have had the pleasure of teaching our new entrant students here at TAPS coming up 5 years this July.
Their excitement, smiles and love for learning is infectious.
I am very excited to meet all of our new five year olds and their families, who will be joining TAPS this year.
I look forward to meeting you all soon!
