To all my teachers,
I only have had the privilege of being at the College
for year 12, but in this one year alone I have been taught by people which I
have never encountered in my 12 years as a student, It never seemed like any of
my teachers were teaching me because it was their job, they often
seemed passionate and excited about teaching which I found very strange at
first. As I progressed through the year (I admit, I'm probably not the most
educationally-orientated student on earth) I really enjoyed being in the
College, small things like teachers not treating me like a little child makes
the learning experience a lot more pleasant.
At our lunch during the AST (Scaling test that Year 12 students wishing to get an STAR do in the ACT) I saw our principal walking around with that
box of assorted cake and teachers conversing with students not just in a
teacher-to-student manner which I think had them gain my respect. There are
certain teachers who stood out for me, like Ben, at first I had no interest in
ancient history, but now I am quite hooked to it. David who started working at
the College around the same time I did, I learnt a lot from him, I've never had
such a good flight teacher, the learning content is excellent. Alfred I would like to thank for sharing and
teaching not maths, but life skills (I did not do too well in math, I do
apologise). Duncan is the most interesting English teacher I have ever
encountered (Sorry my sentence construction isn't that great, excuse my African
education). And finally, Maria and Shannon. I've always enjoyed drama, Shannon
had the great privilege of teaching me from the beginning of the year (Couldn't
get rid of me actually), I enjoyed drama significantly more than I ever would
have, I was shown that the dramatic arts isn't just some acting skills one
could get, but an important stepping stone for the future of any person's
career (public speaking, confidence, body language). I would like to commend
all of my teachers for their amazing work, adjusting to Australia
has been very easy, and I would say this is because of the excellent teachers I
have been fortunate to have, Thank
you.
