I am a husband, dad, lifelong learner and teacher. I also work as an ambulance officer in my spare time. My wife and I have been together 23 years and have a 20 yr old son.
My current job is working in a High School where I teach Maths, Science and Technology. My home class is a Year nine group (14-15 yr olds) and fits well with my preference for working with students in the middle years.
My qualifications include a Batchelor Degree in Middle Schooling with Majors in Health and ICT. I also hold a Masters Degree in Educational Studies with a specialization in Boys' learning.
My pathway to teaching was an interesting one. After 30 years working in the Metal Industry, I went to university to obtain my degree to become a teacher, finally entering the classroom at 51. Best thing I could have done as I love my work, despite the challenges it throws up.
