#022 - Welcome back to the The NatMatSci Podcast, brought to you by The National Mathematics & Science College. This is the podcast to let you find out more about NatMatSci by hearing staff and students talking about their experiences, all unscripted and unplugged, so that you can hear what life is really like at the college.

Today I’m speaking to Jon Wingfield, he’s the new Vice Principal Operations. We’re about to find out what brought him into education (and it wasn’t the most traditional route, shall we say), he talks about being a ‘frustrated economist’, his experience working all over the world, his attitude of trying things that might be outside his comfort zone and much much more.

Jon’s a great guy and looking into the future the college will be a stronger and better place with him on board.

So come with me as I take you into this conversation with the new Vice Principal Operations, it’s Jon Wingfield.

Today I’m speaking to Rob Smith, he’s the new Chemistry Teacher at the college. This means I get to find out from him what brought him into the world of chemistry, what attracted him to the college, how he’s planning on making a positive impact there and what he feels the qualities are of a good teacher.

Now before joining the college Rob was teaching in a university environment so I was also keen to know from him how he felt that was going to help the students at the college, so I’m very happy to share that with you too.

So come with me now as we explore chemistry at the college through a conversation with Mr Rob Smith.

With Tom Pitt, he’s the new Head of Medical Pathway and Teacher of Biology. I wanted to know first up what a Head of Medical Pathway actually is and why this is so important. But then I also got to find out some of the Ah-Hah moments students have when learning biology and also fields of work that students often end up working in.

This is a great episode and I’m sure you’re going to love it. So come with me as we step into a conversation with the new Head of Medical Pathway and Teacher of Biology, it’s Tom Pitt.
