AN INTERVIEW WITH MISS DANIELS

For how long have you worked at Eastbourne College?

I have worked at Eastbourne College for two years, but I was also here as a student for Sixth Form

What is one of your favourite memories of being here and what will you miss? That is really hard, I have made so many! I will definitely miss my relationship with Mrs Bathard-Smith as she taught me when I was in Sixth Form and now being my Head of Department We are very close and I respect her and admire her, so I will miss her constant guidance

I really want to do more things to push myself out of my comfort zone!

What are your plans for the future?

I am leaving England and going to Hanoi in Vietnam to be the Assistant Head of English in an international school for two years, which will be a massive change for me! I would also love to travel and explore different countries. I worked in a school in Australia during my gap year and loved that, so I really want to do more things to push myself out of my comfort zone!

What made you choose Vietnam?

I have always wanted to go to somewhere in South East Asia. Then I got the interview for the job and I think the school really matches my morals, and there was a part of me that thought: 'What have I got to lose?'

Have you been on any trips whilst at this school?

I have been on the hockey trips to Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. I went to Greece and I did loads of pre-season Hockey which I loved, so that was very fun

If you could pick one word to describe your last year of teaching here, what would it be?

Content The lifestyle here is good and I feel very happy and just content.
