Congratulations on being the lucky ones selected for room 12 in 2012. My aim is for our class to be an environment that is fun, supportive and challenging as we continue to develop intellectually, emotionally and physically.
I taught my first year at Broadgreen Intermediate in 2010 having completed the Graduate Diploma in Teaching in 2009 at the University of Auckland. For the previous 10 years I had a career in sports media on radio, television and the internet.
I am a born and raised Nelsonian and live in Stoke with my wife Cheree, four-year-old son Leon and daughter Keira, who will be two in April. Apart from family my interests are playing and watching sport and music.
Family
I look forward to meeting you. You are welcome to see me at any time before or after school to discuss any issues or you can call or email. Meet the teacher evening is another opportunity in week 3 of Term One.
Your child has a school diary for their homework and organisational needs. I will be checking it weekly so they need to have it. You sign this diary once a week to verify that you have seen and checked it. Details of homework and other reminders will also be found on this blog.
Your child needs a hat at school every day as it is part of school policy to wear a hat when outside. Please ensure that this and the rest of their uniform is named.
Blog
This blog will be updated regularly with students' work and pictures from class as well as reminders for homework and other things needed at school. So parents and students can use this site as well as the diary to keep informed about what is happening at school and what is needed from home.

I look forward to a great year.
