Chathurika joined Perth Montessori as an education assistant in January of this year. Originally from Sri Lanka, she is bi-lingual and speaks both Sinhalese and English. Before joining Perth Montessori, Chathurika worked at Ngala Early learning Centre, SouthBank Montessori and Smart Start Montessori Based daycare.
One of the aspects Chathurika really loves about her role is being with children, helping them with their education, and seeing their achievements. Simply sharing in their accomplishments and happiness makes her every effort worthwhile.
Chathurika particularly loves being in a Montessori education setting because she sees that children have so much opportunity to become capable, self-confident, independent, enthusiastic and self-directed learners.
For leisure, Chathurika enjoys spending time with her family and likes cooking and baking. She also wishes to travel new places.
Chathurika believes that, in life, happiness is the greatest achievement one can have and that we should always believe in ourselves. “Our Life is shaped by our mind. We become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.” –Buddha.
