Vivian Riley
Religious studies and environmental science teacher, Newcastle
- 🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
- Newcastle Grammar School
- 1980 to 2012
- English
I came to teaching late, after working as a farmhand, and 32 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else.
Over the years I had 1,730 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile.
More about Vivian
Teaching changed me more than I changed anyone, I think.

You taught me religious studies in 1996 at Newcastle Grammar School. I still remember the morning the power went out and we had class in the yard.

I was in your Grade 4 class in 1989. You believed I could do it before I did. Greetings from Moscow.
