Our Year 9 English class, English_03, has been fortunate to have Anita O'Shea as our teacher at Methodist Ladies' College (MLC) during the head start program for 2026. In just those few short days, Ms. O'Shea has made an indelible impact on each of us, transforming our learning experience profoundly. Her teaching style is not only engaging and informative but also incredibly supportive, making a world of difference in how we approach English as a subject.

Hearing that Ms. O'Shea will no longer continue teaching at our school has left us heartbroken. She has been more than just a teacher; she has been a mentor and an inspiration to all of us, fostering both our academic and personal growth. Her passion for teaching and her ability to connect with students have created an enriching environment that we believe is crucial for our continued success and development.

Anita O'Shea brings unparalleled expertise and a unique approach to teaching that caters to the varied needs and abilities of all students in our class. Her ability to inspire and encourage students to strive for excellence is unmatched. By making her a permanent fixture in our education, MLC would not only ensure the continuation of high-quality instruction but also support the nurturing of future leaders and innovators.

We kindly urge the administration of Methodist Ladies' College to reconsider their decision and keep Ms. O'Shea as a permanent part of our English department. Her talent and dedication are assets that we cannot afford to lose. By signing this petition, you join us in advocating for an educator who truly makes a difference in our lives and in ensuring that future students have the opportunity to benefit from her teaching as much as we have.

Please sign this petition to secure Anita O'Shea's position as our permanent English teacher.
