Wow! I can’t believe that this is now my 9^th week of teaching here at Encounter and what an action-packed 7 weeks it has been with huge events such as the Night on the Green and Sports Day thrown into the mix!

I graduated from Uni in 2009 and spent 2 years living and working in Newcastle in the UK where I taught Maths and PE. The beauty of teaching over in the UK was that  I also managed to travel to over 25 countries before moving back to Australia at the end of 2011.

At the beginning of 2012 I secured a place at Pulteney Grammar where I taught a combination of Maths, Science and PE across Years 7-11. It was during this 6 year period that I met my wife Bridget, and also welcomed my two sons, Fergus (2 ½) and Flynn (6 months old).

I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially when I am able to witness that moment when students experience a breakthrough in their
understanding!

My family and I are starting to feel really settled into the local area and are looking forward to further immersing ourselves into the local and College community.
