This web page was an assignment for a unit I am studying called The Information Superhighway. The assignment asked that we design a web page on ourselves.

I am currently living in Dubbo and studying a Graduate Diploma in Information Technology at Charles Sturt University.

General Information

Contents

I am a Secondary Maths Teacher for the NSW Dept of Education. I studied a Bachelor of Education-Secondary Maths at CSU-Mitchell from 1989 to 1992.

Where I have Lived

The places I have lived around NSW have been very interesting, as each of them had something different to offer.

Bathurst

Bathurst has many attractions for the tourist. It is rich in heritage, committed to education through Charles Sturt University-Mitchell and is well known to the car enthusiasts for the races around Mount Panorama.

Tottenham (NSW)

Tottenham is a small country town at the centre of NSW. It is situated approximately 90 km South of Nyngan. It is a quiet town, as there are no major roads nearby. This means people who come to Tottenham have a very good reason to do so. It's main source of income is farming, mostly wheat, sheep and cattle. However, some farmers closer to Trangie are diversifying to cotton.

I arrived in Tottenham in 1993 to take up my first teaching appointment. I found the community a great place to live and it broadened my mind on how other people live outside the major centres.

Maitland

Maitland is situated in the Hunter Valley, 24 km away from Newcastle. The Hunter Valley has a great deal to offer to everybody as it is close to Sydney, Newcastle, the North Coast and the Wineries.

I moved to Maitland in 1997 and taught at Maitland High School (formally known as Maitland Boys High School) for the year. I found the Maitland area an exciting place because of its locality.

Dubbo

I moved to Dubbo at the start of 1998 and am currently teaching at Dubbo School of Distance Education. Studying a University degree through correspondence has given me a great insight into how the students at DSODE must find it difficult at times. I find DSODE an exciting place because of the innovative programs and the different ways the teachers can communicate with their students.
