10 questions for staff: Mr O’Leary How long have you been teaching? I have been teaching for 14 years. What School did you go to? I went to Knowsley Hey Comprehensive School, in Huyton. The school has been knocked down now to make way for Lord Derby’s Academy. Who was your favourite teacher and why? I was lucky to have many great, committed teachers. My favourite would have to be Mrs Richardson; she was my form teacher throughout school and was always there to offer support and guidance when needed. Where did you go to university I went to Liverpool Hope University to complete my degree and returned there to complete my teacher training. What did you study? I chose to study European Studies and ICT. Why did you choose that course and university? ICT is my favourite subject and European Studies was interesting, looking at the geography, history and politics of Europe. I decided to return to Liverpool Hope University to do my teacher training because of its reputation as an outstanding teacher training provider. What made you decide to become a teacher? I wanted a career that enabled me to carry on learning. Teaching allows me to do this and sharing learning experiences with students is extremely rewarding. How did your first lesson go? I have fond memories of my first lesson. It was with my first ever year 7 from group, we were both starting our school journey together, so we were all a little nervous and excited at the same time. What’s the best thing about your job? It is varied, no day is the same. As well as teaching in the classroom it has been fantastic to be involved in extracurricular activities such as Duke of Edinburgh and international school exchanges. What advice would you give to anyone thinking of becoming a teacher? Do it! It’s hard work but such a rewarding career. Always make sure you have a way to relax too! Mine is walking my dog (see pic above) it gives me time to think and no matter what the weather, is always enjoyable.
