Dear Reader,
Hi, my name is Mr Carter and I am the teacher in Room 4 at Gordonton
School. I taught at Hukanui School before arriving at Gordonton several
years ago.
I have an older brother who is a secondary school teacher, and three
nephews. My parents work and live in Te Awamutu, where I grew up.
I enjoy travelling, having visited in excess of 30 countries. The most
memorable trip was the seven months that I spent travelling around Europe.
Some of the nicest places I have been are Cannes on the French Riviera, Corfu
in Greece and Gallipoli in Turkey. Another very enjoyable although somewhat
shorter trip was to the Rugby Sevens World Cup in Hong Kong, although New
Zealand was beaten in the final by Fiji.
Other pass times I enjoy are sleeping in and relaxing with family and friends.
Recently I have begun playing squash again after having a few problems with
an elbow. Unfortunately a return to golf is still not possible as a result of
that mishap.
I am looking forward to another fun year filled with lots of exciting activities
and challenges.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
