Chris is a current staff member at Renmark Primary School and will join us in the Learning Hub on Mondays. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge as well as many years of teaching experience.
Chris is a familiar face to many of the students at RHS, many of whom she has taught previously and has settled in quickly.
Welcome Chris!
INTRODUCING.......
Stuart Watkinson
English, History and Media Studies Teacher
Stuart began his teaching career at Renmark High School in 2016 and is a valued member of our staff, as well as being highly respected by his students.
Stuart decided to become a teacher after his first job was 'really bad'! He felt teaching would allow him the opportunity to spend all day talking about his hobbies while working with and helping other people.
His hobbies include writing fiction, playing tabletop games such as D&D (Dungeons and Dragons), hiking, and watching movies. He also spends his time hosting podcasts.
When asked who influenced him the most growing up he replied 'My older brothers. They were these two giants that taught me all about pop-culture, books, games, movies, art and music. They're just normal size now'
His advice to students in high school is:
Dive into your hobbies. Research the things you love. Don't do things just because everyone else is.
