Celebrating our staff: Dr Katherine Greenely
ACG Strathallan Chemistry teacher Dr Katherine Greenley loves Sci-Fi movies, outdoor adventures and teaching students to think. In July she will accompany students on their World Challenge adventure to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. We interviewed her to find out all about her experience being a teacher.
What makes a good teacher?
"Someone who is real and honest with young people and not afraid to make mistakes in front of them. Someone who sees each student as an amazing individual with so much to offer, even if their strength does not lie within your own subject. A good teacher is so much more than the subject they teach. It’s someone who encourages students to push a little outside their comfort zone to explore what they are capable of. I want students to be thinkers and learners not just receptacles for information and facts."

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
