Welcome to Term 1 and to Room 11. I hope you have all had a fantastic holiday and that everyone is refreshed, relaxed and ready to get stuck into learning. As you'll be aware, this is my second year teaching at Russley. Prior to coming here, I taught at Paparoa Street School, St. Albans School and Kaiapoi Borough School.
I've had a great holiday break with my wife and adorable kids, Flynn and Isla. Here's a wee snap of the two.
A huge passion of mine is surf life saving. I coach and sweep the North Beach Open Men's Crew. We're off to Waihi Beach this weekend to compete in the North Island Surf Boat Championships, then the New Zealand Surf Life Saving Championships in March.

See you all on Monday!
