In the next episode of The Holidays Are Good, I am joined by Zach Johns. Zach is a young male teacher in his second year of teaching. I've known him for a long time due to our connection with the Seven Hills Toongabbie RSL Cricket Club, playing in the same team as his dad and later as team mates. When I heard he decided to become a teacher, I was delighted to say the least.

After chatting to Zach on a professional level for an hour, I soon realised that he made the right decision. He is a great young man who is striving to be the best teacher he can be for his students. Is that what teaching is all about? We talked about building positive relationships with your students and how important it is to know what makes them tick. 

I wish I was as switched on at his age. His class and school are blessed to have him. After hearing his story, you'll definitely agree.
