IT was like the first day of school all over again on Tuesday for Vikki Moresi.
More than three decades after starting her career as a kindergarten teacher, Vikki has embarked on a slight career change in 2025.
Vikki is in a new role at Boort District School where she will see the growth of students from a different perspective.
For the past 24 years, Vikki had been the pre-school teacher at Boort before stepping down last month. “I had completed my diploma of teaching in early childhood in Melbourne and took my first job at the kindergarten in Wentworth in 1991,” she said.
“I moved back to Boort when I married Brett and had a short stint in retail in Kerang before returning to the early childhood setting.
“One of the great memories working in pre-school at Boort has been seeing the children grow, especially the three-year--olds from the day they start to when they headed off to their next adventures at school.
“And you get to know the families a lot, too, when living locally.”
Vikki said one of the biggest changes in early childhood teaching had been regulatory requirements and paperwork.
She said the “first day of school” was the start of new and interesting chapter in her career.
Vikki’s role will be multi-faceted, assisting around the school and in classrooms “still seeing our young people grow”.
