THE BRUNSWICK - Brunswick Secondary College

THE BRUNSWICKNew Staff2012Tony MartinsonI am a Science and Mathematics teacher who recently arrived inVictoria from Perth in August 2011. My interest and experiencein the Aquatic sciences has led me to teach VCE level Chemistryand Biology. Experience in business and quantitative studies havebeen the back bone to my Mathematics background.After spending several months touring Japan, teaching andvolunteering at the beginning of 2011, I realised my immensepassion for educating students of all ages. I have thoroughlyenjoyed building strong relationships with the students, parentsand staff at BSC to date, and look eagerly toward the rest of mytime teaching Science and Mathematics at BSC.I actively participate in extra-curricular activities at Brunswickand look forward to contributing to the Brunswick school communitywhere and however possible. Although I have supportedFremantle football club for 17 years I do look forward to watchingsome live football in 2012.Lisa ShukroonHowdy! My name is Lisa Shukroon and I have arrived as part ofa two-for-one deal! Iam teaching EAL/D (the acronym previouslyreferred to as ESL) in the Language Centre upstairs and Year 7EAL/D and Year 9 English at Brunswick Secondary downstairs.So far I have found students and staff to be welcoming, energised,keen, innovative and occasionally cheeky (Phht! Staff, eh?)I have come here via University High (8 years) and prior to thatfrom a career in publishing (writer, editor and graphic designer).My teaching philosophy is simple - learning is one of the bravest(and exciting!) things we can do, because it requires us toacknowledge there is stuff we don’t know. This year in the stuff-I-don’t-know pile (a gargantuan pile though it is) was “how toplay a guitar” – hopefully I can support students to bravely write,speak and read beautiful language faster than I ammaking not-quite-so-beautiful music!Josh NolanHi!! This year I will be the Sports Coordinator as well as teachingPhysical Education, Health and Food Technology. I am reallylooking forward to organising the sports teams and studentsthat will compete in various sports throughout the year.It will give me an opportunity to meet heaps of new people andwill also allow me to help and assist teams and students as muchas I can. This will be a busy year for me because on top of beinga school teacher I also train every day and compete on theweekend in track running (athletics).I have really enjoyed being a teacher at Brunswick SecondaryCollege and am looking forward to the year ahead. I am alsoexcited to see who will RING THE BRUNSWICK BELL.
