AN INTERVIEW WITH MR KYLE

Mr Kyle has worked as a chemistry teacher at the school for the past three years, and is leaving at the end of this academic year. Find out some more about his experiences and plans for the future.

What is your favourite thing about the school?

My favourite thing about the school is actually a time: every Wednesday afternoon, when the sun is out and everyone sits on college field. It just has a really serene atmosphere

What are some highlights of your time here?

I really enjoyed singing with Mr Roberts at the house a cappella last year It wasn't initially meant to happen - it was completely off the cuff Mr Jordan told us an hour or so before that we had to provide 10-15 minutes of filler at the end. We decided to sing, as that was the theme of the evening. We both loved Hamilton, so that was how that came about

Why are you leaving?

Teaching isn't the job that I want to do I want to try something different. I have enjoyed working here for the last three years but I feel that I have other interests that I want to investigate I think I'm at the perfect age to try new things. I have the opportunity to explore new careers and life paths so I just thought: why not?

What are you going to miss most?

I'm going to miss a lot of the people that I have worked with I think that I've formed good friendships that I'll have for a long time. I'm lucky and honoured to have been asked to read at Mr Roberts and Miss Garret's wedding Not seeing them every week will be tough. I won't miss having to get up at six!

What are your future plans?

I'm flying from London to Singapore, then spending three weeks in Bali. We're initially backpacking, Then we're going to fly into Sydney and travel around Australia for five months We're thinking of settling in Sydney. There is some natural anxiety, of course, but everyday is exciting I'm really looking forward to it
