Some Biographical Details
For those of you who don't know me outlined below is a brief biographical description. I am a born and bred Jo'burger, living most of my life here. I am married to Elinor and we have four children (Claire, Michael, Simon and Patrick), Elinor is also a teacher by profession, specialising in French and English, although for the moment has her hands full in caring for our four children. I come from a family of teachers, where two of my sisters are in the profession and both parents are also teachers. One could say that it literally runs in the blood.

I completed my initial training and degree at Wits University and my teaching subjects are History and Biblical Studies. I completed a masters Degree in Education and Development at the University of London in 1993. I am involved in a number of other professional associations and initiatives outside of school life, including serving as a Director on the Boards of the IEB and the Catholic Institute of Education (CIE). I also serve as the IEB History Paper II examiner. Prior to joining Saints I served as the Head of College at Sacred Heart College from 1996.

My wife and I are practising Catholics. I am firmly committed to the spirit of ecumenism in the world today. I believe that people of faith, not only from the Christian tradition but from all the major religions, have an important contribution to make towards helping create a culture of sanity in a world that increasingly seems to be going mad.
