1. What’s the funniest thing you’ve done before? (Mr Clendinning) “One time when I was a child I got my pants caught in the chain of my bike, so I had to walk home through the streets without any pants on... *laughs* Don’t wear tracksuit pants when you’re bike riding! I was about ten- can you add that I wasn’t an adult... ”

(Mrs Fittler) “Oh, my giddy aunt… I pretended I was my twin sister in class when I was a kid!”

(Mr J) “We did a show of Alice in Wonderland, and I was the queen of hearts! That was pretty ridiculous...the only line was “off with your head!” This was in New Zealand so I would have been only seven. ” 2. What was your first impression of the school, the students and the teachers? (Mr Clendinning) “My first impression of the school was coming up the avenue of trees you know out the front through the gates- and so I had a really nice sense of place and it was a cooler day and yeah, it just felt really nice.”

(Mrs Fittler) “Everyone is so lovely, they’re so friendly, they’re so compassionate, they’re lovely to talk to and they love to laugh.”

(Mr J) “I remember being super intimidated because I was coming from teaching at a country school… I had been the only music teacher, and it was a state school and so when I came here I felt like I wasn’t going to be good enough to teach you.”

3. If you have a hidden talent? What is it? (Mrs Fittler) “Oh wow, a hidden talent *laughs* making science cool! No that’s not really a talent is it... Umm fire twirling”

(Mr Gall) “I can eat a piece of bread in 20 seconds. I recommend you try it, but it’s a lot harder than it looks!”

What’s the boldest thing about PLC?

(Mr Gall) “Umm… I think the boldest thing about PLC would be that all the girls are allowed to be who they are and they’re not afraid to be who they are.”

(Mr J) “Umm… *sighs* Marching.” 5. Which year group do you like the most? Be honest. (Mr Clendinning) “Oh come on you can’t ask that… Pre K, yeah Pre K! They are so much fun.”

(Mrs Fittler) “*Laughs joyfully* Oh which year do I like the best? I love them all… especially year ten but I love them all...”

(Mr Gall) “My favourite year group is my year eights’ because I have them for pastoral care.”
