I’m Jonny, an experienced primary teacher with twelve years of classroom and international school experience in Singapore and New Zealand. My practice focuses on building strong relationships, maintaining clear classroom routines and expectations, and delivering engaging, curriculum-aligned learning experiences. I value collaborative planning within year teams and work closely with colleagues to ensure consistency in learning, behaviour expectations, and student wellbeing.

​

I have extensive experience in multicultural schools, both in New Zealand and internationally at Stamford American International School, Singapore. I am recognised for creating inclusive, engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity and critical thinking. Currently, I work as a Life Education teacher in New Zealand, a regional role I took on to intentionally build depth in personal, social and health education.

 

​Alongside my qualifications — a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre and Film, a Graduate Diploma in Teaching, a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Digital and Collaborative Learning — I bring several years of professional experience in film and creative technologies, including VFX production as well as writing for children’s television.

 

​Having previously lived and taught in Singapore, my wife and I value its multicultural, international community. We’re excited to return and settle long-term, providing our children, aged five and seven, with a holistic education that emphasises both academic excellence and intercultural understanding.
