Shelly

Lead Teacher – ECT – Leaping Leopards

My name is Shaileshni , but I'm simply known as Shelly by my family and friends.

I joined Fit Kidz, Warrawee in Dec, 2025 and it has been a wonderful journey ever since

I hold a Bachelor of Teaching (0–5 years), which I completed in 2012.

My favourite memory of my time at Fit Kidz is the Holi celebrations. It was such a joyful and vibrant experience, seeing the children and educators come together to celebrate with colour, laughter, and excitement. The sense of community, inclusion, and shared happiness made it truly special and unforgettable.

What I love about working at Fit Kidz is the strong team culture and the meaningful connections we build with families. Being part of a supportive and collaborative team makes each day enjoyable and rewarding.

I believe my greatest achievement is yet to come. I am excited about the opportunities ahead to contribute positively to the team, build strong relationships with children and families, and make a meaningful impact within the service.

My hobbies and interests include gardening, visiting new places, shopping, and cooking. I enjoy spending time in the garden and watching plants grow, as it helps me relax and connect with nature.

I am originally from Fiji and began my career as a primary school teacher. In 2001, I moved to New Zealand spending 12 years there and completing my qualifications in Early Childhood Education. In 2012, I migrated to Australia to continue my journey in education and further grow my career in early childhood sector.
