I started my career as a Chemistry teacher but its been a while since I taught. But I take any opportunity to get into our labs to see whats going on - Y13 IBDP photosynthesis in this case.
Maisie not happy to be left in Scotland as I head off for a year in Singapore.
Last working day in India today before we fly back to Scotland tomorrow. A lovely video from one of our schools to remind me of the wonderful time here.
Try following it in India!
Happy Fathers Day

I was delighted to join an event organised by the students at Oakridge School in Bengaluru to raise money and awareness about Cancer care. After introductory talks by people effected by cancer we went to the sports area for the walk. An incredibly well organised, innovative and impactful event.
