Meet our staff – former student Mr Exton

One of our newest teachers in Primary is Mr Tim Exton, who joined us in 2019, but his NBCS journey started many years before as a former student! Mr Exton has felt very welcomed by the NBCS community and appreciates the supportive and collaborative work environment, and the opportunities for co-teaching across the Stage, providing our students with different learning experiences.

A highlight of the year so far was looking at weather in the Integrated Unit with various experiments: “one memorable experiment was learning how snow is made (both in nature and man-made) and then making our own faux snow”.
