THE TEAM

We're a friendly bunch!

“I’ve been Principal Teacher of RME at Paisley Grammar for 15 years. Random fact - I was born in the middle of a cyclone in a small island in the Pacific ocean. My favourite topics to teach are anything really that I can see causes a pupil to pause and look like they've just had a profound thought! I love teaching N5/Higher Philosophy and RMPS. Every element of these courses interests me greatly. I also love teaching core RME classes. The Abrahamic Religions course is my current favourite, although I never get bored of the S2 'Universe' topic either.  I also love a good school trip! Trekking in Uganda, Whitewater rafting down the Nile, a Safari in South Africa, zip wiring 200 feet above a river in ESwatini are just some of the highlights of the job!"

"I've been a member of the RME department here at PGS since 2018, and my working days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I have a passion for every area which RMPS covers, but if I had to choose I'd need to say my favourite courses to teach are The Island  and Morality in the Movies - these topics in particular sparks great discussions across classes and pupils become so engaged in the lessons. That's what RMPS is all about! I also have a particular love for Philosophy, and over the last two years I have been developing and teaching S3 elective courses in Early Learning and Childcare within the school".
