About Me!
I was born in Sydney on 26th January, 1984 (Australia Day). After hitting the ripe old age of 4 ¾ it was decided to ship me off to Mosman Prep School. After completing a solid 7 years, 1996 saw me commence high school at the Shore School, North Sydney. This was a junior and senior (yr3 – 12) all boys, day boy and boarding senior school. My studies were finished there after the completion of my Higher School Certificate in 2001. After applying for, and receiving a place at Fettes College, Scotland, I took off for the whole of 2002 to be a GAP student. The stories I had heard about these years almost being a paid holiday were quickly dismissed after we were given our work timetable. Although the whole year was hard work, to date it is the most beneficial year of my life due to all the experiences it threw me. These varied between teaching English to foreign students, teaching PE to primary and senior school students (some of them 19 years old whilst I was still 17!!), coaching rugby, cricket, golf, lacrosse, or even helping 7 year old kids deal with home sickness.
I do believe this year overseas helped push me into the teaching world (or at least wanting to be in this world!) and has helped me get through the first two years of my degree at the Australian College of Physical Education, Homebush, before transferring to CSU Bathurst this year.
The main purpose of this e-folio is to point out to people what I have learnt so far in life, in regards to teaching. It also outlines my beliefs and what I hope to gain from teaching.
