New IT teacher appointed

 

Mr John Maxwell, a local with long-term connections to Brisbane Water Secondary College, has replaced Mr Michael Cowling as an information technology vocational education and training (VET) teacher at the school.

Mr Maxwell was appointed following Mr Cowling receiving a long awaited transfer to West Wallsend High School.

He comes with high recommendations from other local schools where he has worked in recent times and with a wealth of experience from his previous position with the ABC.

Subsequent to his appointment, the school is currently investigating the possibility of offering a new VET course next year in the entertainment industries area, as Mr Maxwell's ABC experience places him as highly qualified to teach such a course.

Many students seem interested in this field, and it offers ties to many other current courses at the school such as drama, dance, music and sport.

In related news, the new skills centre at the school is being accessed regularly by the information technology VET groups.

The school is looking forward to completion of the cabling to connect all classrooms and computer rooms to the rest of the school in the near future.
