About Me

Allan Quartly
I have been teaching now for 12 years. For 5 years I worked permanent full time at two different schools, one in South West Sydney, the other at an inner city school in Sydney - two different socio-economic groups, one co-ed the other single sex. For the next two and a bit years I taught in England and in an Indigenous school in Alice Springs. Then for another two and a half years I filled in where needed in the Wiradjuri area (Riverina, Central Tablelands, Mid Western) doing day-to-day relief as well as temporary blocks. Then I returned to the Northern Territory to support teachers implementing ICT into classes in remote schools, before becoming Teaching Principal at Bulman Community School. I am currently teaching in Blacktown, Sydney.
