Struggling to find your way back to a deeper sense of purpose?
- Find yourself overwhelmed with the day-to-day life of an educator?

- Feel like you are always behind on deadlines?
- Not knowing how to prioritise tasks?

You are not alone
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your physical and emotional health just because you want to be a great teacher.
Our aim is to help you overcome feelings of overwhelm, disorganisation, burnout, and all that encompasses being in the role of a teacher. We’re here to help you break out of the rigid and outdated structures of the school system, which is leaving your emotional and intuitive needs out of account – and, most of all, creating a disconnection from your authentic expression in the classroom.
"I understand what it’s like to feel alone in carrying the weight of a classroom, parents and administrators. Now, you no longer have to carry it by yourself." Peta
Hi, I’m Peta
That’s why I founded Beyond the Classroom in 2018 with the mission to support educators. After more than 20 years in a variety of roles and workplaces as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal, I combine my extensive background and experiences with a non-judgmental approach. I am passionate about making a change in education by supporting educators. I am equally committed to my own continuous professional and personal development to ensure that my knowledge and skills remain relevant to my work.

You have it in you to leave a legacy in the hearts of generations of students.
You are more than a teacher. Imagine your former students come back to visit and thank you because they felt the impact you made on their lives. You are the teacher they remember and think about the lessons you taught them.
Burnout is a real thing.
You’ve worked too hard on your education to get where you are today to let it slip through your fingers.
It’s OK to ask for help.
