Hello G1B Parents, Welcome to G1B for this academic year! My name is Mr. Hassey and I will be the G1B teacher for this year. I'm from Australia and have been teaching for over 11 years now, starting in small country schools in the Hunter Valley, public and private schools in Sydney and an international school in Osaka. This is my third year at UST and I'm already familiar with some of our students coming into grade 1 from K3. I bring with me a passion for books and reading and am more than happy to recommend books for your child to read. |
