Term 2, Week 6

My name is Matt King and I will be teaching 3A for the remainder of the year.
 
I studied at USQ Springfield in the first year that it opened (2006), majoring in Physical Education. I grew up in Redbank Plains and went to Kruger State School and Kruger Baptist Church as a child. I played Rugby League for the Redbank Plains Bears until I was 18. I have lived in the area for most of my life and am therefore very passionate about my local community.
 
I began my teaching career at Springfield Lakes State School in 2010, teaching Years 2-6 with Education Queensland. I have also worked at Camira State School and Fernbrooke State School.
 
I have always wanted to work in a Christian School, and I feel that it is a dream come true. I look forward to implementing my faith into my teaching. I am passionate about the message of Jesus and I know that he is the way, the truth, and the life. I want to pass on the good news to as many people as possible because it has transformed my life, and I know it has the power to change the lives of others also.
 
In my spare time I like to read autobiographies, watch movies, hike and run. I am a massive supporter of the NRL and my favourite team is the Sydney Roosters. I try to watch as many games as possible.
I have learned from experience that teaching involves strong partnerships with other staff, parents and carers. I believe such partnerships are vital to achieve spiritual and academic growth in students.
 
I look forward to meeting you over the coming days and weeks. Please feel free to come and say “Hello”.

Devotion – Be real

Devotion – Be real

Jesus was rough on Pharisees: ‘Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness’ (Matthew 23:28 NLT). They put on a good front but were devoid of grace, mercy, and compassion. And Jesus called them on it! Because we live in an appearance-focused society, Jesus warns us about the dangers that come from dwelling on the outer life at the cost of developing the inner life. So, how do you keep that from happening?
