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 – Just sow the seed
One day when Charles Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship, was scheduled to preach to three hundred inmates at San Quentin prison, a lockdown was called and most of the prisoners were confined to their cells. To the few who were allowed to attend, Colson decided to go ahead and give the complete message he had prepared.
Dress to Impress fundraiser
On Wednesday, we held a non-uniform day to support the Year 12 Formal Fundraiser, with the theme “Dress to Impress.” We enjoyed a parade this morning, where everyone had the chance to showcase their creative costumes and outfits including some staff members! It was a great way to start to the day!
