Further aspects include boarding at St Bede's College for 5 years and a year living in Ireland as a boarding school tutor, rugby player, and coach.

 

Being a husband and father has also strengthened my ability as an educator. I am a dedicated family man who understands the importance of quality family time.

 

As a leader of learning, I make an impact on children’s learning and achievement through:

• modelling values i.e. caring, respect, honesty, perseverance

• instilling a positive attitude, self-confidence and belief

• displaying manners

• using commonsense

• a sense of right and wrong

• setting high expectations for all

• ensuring the curriculum is engaging and relevant

• individualising  courageous learning

• being creative, curious and connected 

• parent involvement with their child’s education

• creating a community of care
