Who
said the camera doesn't lie? If I look like this it is definitely time
to retire from the education business.
I'm Warren Norman and I come from Sydney, the capital of NSW in Australia.
I am currently Principal of a primary school at Campsie which is a suburb about 14 km from the Sydney CBD.
The school has 96% of students whose first language is not English. 20% of these are Korean and 50% are Chinese.
When the opportunity to go to Korea arose, I was hesitant at first but after some persuasion I filled out the application and here I am.
What did I expect? I'm not sure but the reality has certainly been fantastic.
I now havie a greater (but still very limited) understanding of where my students and their families come from. Their values and attitudes are so different from most in Australia and after this short visit I can see why.
To be continued.
