I teach Computing and have the passion to share the love of computing with my students, providing diverse learning opportunities for all students.

Jaymie Pauvaday
Secondary Religious Education
I teach Philosophy, my first love! I have a particular interest in Eastern philosophy and have studied this and Education at Masters level. I am extremely fortunate to have worked and lived in various countries. Seeing for myself, philosophy and faith in practice has furthered my interest in people. Philosophy for me is really at the heart of what it means to be human. The questions that people ask themselves everyday and how they choose to live their lives is just fascinating. I feel honoured and extremely privileged to share and explore these questions with students everyday in the classroom.
