Term 2, Week 2
Hi, I’m your new HPE Teacher, and I’m thrilled to be part of this community.
My journey into teaching took a bit of a scenic route. I spent ten years working at various Optus stores and eventually ended up managing Optus Caloundra. I then felt a strong pull to return to Ipswich and follow my passion for teaching. Along the way, I ventured into disability support, which was a rewarding experience, and later took on the role of Area Manager at Healthy Life Community Services.
I’ve been married to my wife Katie for seven wonderful years; she’s also a teacher. Together, we share a passion for education and making a positive impact. As an educator, I bring enthusiasm, resilience, great communication skills and strong leadership skills to the team.
In my downtime, you can find me enjoying a game of rugby league, soccer or playing board games with my friends.
I’m eager to collaborate with Staines Memorial College in delivering a distinctly Christian education and look forward to the meaningful journey ahead.
This morning, our college community gathered for our annual ANZAC Day Service. Together, we paused to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand men and women who have served, and continue to serve our nation.
What a fantastic way to kick off Term 2 with our Cross Country event on Wednesday. It was wonderful to see students giving their best and friends and staff cheering them on. Well done to all!
The most powerful incentive to overcoming sin is not our love for Christ, but His love for us. Even with the best of intentions, our love for Him is subject to fluctuations. Jesus said to the church in Ephesus, ‘’But I have this against you, that you have left your first love”’ (Revelation 2:4 NASB20).
