Simon Kelly

My teaching passion resides in Physical Education and Pastoral Care. I am a passionate people person. This has led me to the career that I love, working with people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures.

Sport, exercise and healthy living are attributes I live by. Holistic wellbeing is very much linked to success in academic attributes.
When academic rigour is applied within a caring and nurturing environment students learn to cope with the pressures and stress associated with growing up and accepting personal responsibility.
It is necessary to develop the entire person so that they can contribute in positive ways to their families and communities.
