Celebrating our staff: Cherie Boucher-Cunningham
A former ACG Strathallan student, Year 4 teacher Cherie Boucher-Cunningham played soccer in the boys’ first XI before ‘accidentally’ becoming a goalie for NZ. Now a teacher, her job, she says, is to make every student feel they belong. We interviewed her to find out all about her experience being a teacher.
What was the highlight of your time as a student at ACG Strathallan?
"I loved the teachers – they were so kind and made you feel like you could be anything. I remember bringing my Mum and Dad in for interviews one year and just being so proud and excited to show them everything. I played in the boys’ first XI soccer team, because we didn’t have a girls’ team back then. Something I will always remember is playing the teachers at football on Fridays after school. It was competitive and there were some brilliant tackles from both sides! It was something I would often tell people when they asked about my time at Strathallan."
What made you return to the school as a teacher?
"I had such good memories and I wanted to be a part of creating those memories for more students. I also love the campus. It is such an amazing feeling to be able to work with so much space around you. I often take my classes out just to watch the water if they are feeling stressed or over-excited."
