SECONDARY AND JUNIOR COLLEGE

This week, we are very pleased to introduce Mr Ron.
Mr Ron is a graduate of Cambridge University in English Literature. He comes to us with extensive teaching experience, and a passion for making learning engaging. Mr Ron is very much an inspirational teacher, he pushes students to be the very best they can be. We are so pleased he has joined our English department. Mr Ron is not only an experienced teacher, but also a theatre director and film maker. His films have been shortlisted for the Amman Film Festival, and the Canterbury Arts Festival.

Next academic year, we will be offering IB Film with Mr Ron. This is a very exciting addition to our IB program. The creation, presentation and study of film requires courage, passion and curiosity: courage to explore ideas through action and harness the imagination, and to experiment; passion to communicate and to act communally, and to research and formulate ideas eloquently; curiosity about self and the world, about different traditions, techniques and knowledge, about the past and the future, and about the limitless possibilities of human expression through the art form.

At the core of the IB film course lies a concern with clarity of understanding, critical thinking, reflective analysis, effective involvement and imaginative synthesis that is achieved through practical engagement in the art and craft of film. This course is a very exciting new offering, and we are very pleased to have Mr Ron as part of our team.
