Teacher of the Month
This month we talk to Ms
Claire from Primary.
1) What's the best thing about
working at GIS?
There are two things. The
students I get to teach each
day are so super polite and
hardworking (most of the time)
and the great team of
colleagues I get to work with.
2) What made you choose to
live in Thailand?
I'd always wanted to travel to
Thailand so when the opportunity came up to work here I jumped at the chance, it's such a
beautiful country I feel very lucky to live here.
3) What's the first record you ever bought? The first record I ever bought was Pray by
‘Take That’, I was definitely going through my boy band phase then.
4) What do you do when you're not teaching? I love going scuba diving, travelling to
new places and attending music festivals.
5) If you could be a superhero, which superhero would you be?
Batman - bit dark and mysterious and I’d get to drive around in the Batmobile.
6) Favourite singer/band? Soooooooo hard, I love so many different types of music but I
don't think I'd ever get tired of listening to the Foo Fighters.
7) If you weren't a teacher, what would you be doing? I always wanted to be a fighter pilot
after watching Top Gun when I was younger! But if not, something involving travel.
8) What's the best place you've been to in Thailand? Chiang Mai - it's stunning up there.
9) What kind of student were you?
I found a Year 9 report not so long ago and one of the comments was 'would benefit from
listening to me rather than her friends in class' so I guess that sums it up.
10) What are you afraid of?
Spiders! There was an incident last year when I ran out of the classroom screaming as
there was a brown widow hanging on the window – yes, it was outside but still....
