Principal of Outram School
Ha!
What do you want to know?

Born and bought up in Christchurch, and living in Dunedin since 1990. Married to a wonderful lady called Jane who is a speech language therapist and working hard towards her PhD. We have two school aged children.

I have been teaching since 1989 and a principal since 1994. I have taught at all levels from Y4-8 and usually in multi-level classes.

My teaching has been at Redwood School in Christchurch (with my New Entrant teacher as Principal - bizarre!) and Abbotsford School in Dunedin. As a principal I have had the privilege of working at Taieri Beach School, Pine Hill School and Outram School.

I have been at school since I was 5 (school, teachers college, and then school again) except for a year with CORE Education as an ICT PD National Facilitator . I am passionate about learning - my own and that of ALL the people in our school. My job as a school leader is to make sure it happens for all of us :-)

Outside of school family comes first and I also enjoy spending time hunting, fly fishing, playing sport, listening to music, and good wine and food.
