Mr Michael Travers
Performing Arts / Music Teacher
St Matthew's Catholic Primary School, North Fawkner, VIC
Michael Travers exhibits an extraordinary dedication and energy that excites all who work with him. He is an extremely innovative teacher who sees music as opening doors to many other areas of learning and experience. His cutting-edge multimedia projects have enabled students to be involved in experiences that are way beyond what is normally expected in a primary school program.
Michael astounds some of his co-workers with his creativity and ability to bring all facets of music education together in partnership with young children, parents, music professionals and the wider community. Watching him teach and interact with children has also inspired confidence in others to incorporate music into other areas of the curriculum.
