I first met Spencer in Toronto last year whilst visiting some schools. His mother Kathy is a superintendent of a family of schools in Toronto and is visiting in July of this year. Spencer, over a beer at a jazz club, expressed an interest in completing his teaching degree out in Australia. There were a few emails over the following months and twelve months later here he is completing a voluntary teaching round at Elsternwick Primary. Spencer, who is at Latrobe University is working in both the prep and senior levels of the school. When they say its a small world they really do mean it.
PS He chose the “right” team to follow in Aussie Rules as well – the baby blues as they are colloquially known as.
