I arrived at Scotch College in 2014 and have been a Humanities Teacher as well as holding roles as a House Head and most recently, the Director of Service and Citizenship.

The collegiality amongst professionals in the area has been very welcome and the options for professional development (particularly online) too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

She moved to full time from three days and I have stepped into a new role, so we have found the juggle of a young family while building a house to be quite challenging. At Scotch, the move to Scotch College Online Teaching (SCOT) was extremely well managed but our school is a busy place with extensive community involvement and missing events and the people that make them happen has been disappointing for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0 Who would you like to have lunch with and where?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nErnest Shackleton, Barack Obama and Jim Collins at the Quokka Arms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0 Motto or person mantra?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nNever waste a moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Kyle, Director of Admissions, Engagement and Communication at Scotch College, Perth 1.\u00a0 How long have you been in your new position and where have you come from?
