Dear Parents,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, as I will
be y our childs teacher for the 2011 -12 academic year. My name
is Mr Chris Boreham and I am an Australian teacher with over
twenty years experience. During this time I have taught widely in
elementary school at all year levels, and have also taught
secondary students up to year eleven.
I have been a teacher at NIST since February 2004, joining the
school to teach a Year 1 class. Since then I have taught Year 4 for
three years in which two years I was leading this team in the role
of co-ordinator. For the past four academic years, I have taught
Year 6 and also led the teaching team as Year Level Co-ordinator.
Prior to coming to NIST, I was Vice Principal at a Year 1-13 school
of three hundred students in rural South Australia. There I was
responsible for managing the staff and students for Years 1-6 as
well as other school administrative duties. I am sure that my
experience in working with students in different types of schools
and many different classes will enable me to assist your childs
learning.
I am married to Mrs Angela Boreham who is a secondar y English
teacher at NIST. We have two children, Rowan who is in year 12
here at NIST and Georgia who last year completed her IB Diploma
and will shortly start her university studies in Australia. As a
family, we all enjoy traveling, sports and exercising.

This year I aim for your child to consolidate and extend his/her
academic progress and assist them to become independent
learners. Additionally, students will develop self-confidence;
communication and social skills; personal organization; and
respect for self and others. Learning activities will aim to enthuse
and challenge students, and will emphasise the development of
academic skills and positive, co-operative social attitudes.
Students will be expected to meet high standards in regards to
attitude, behaviour and effort.
This Year our Academic Assistant in Year 6 will be Ms Siew. She
will assist all year 6 students and teachers throughout the year
level.
I look forward to meeting all parents in the coming weeks and
greatly appreciate your support in assisting with your childs
learning. Should you need to contact me, please use the email
address below or send a note along with your child so that an
appropriate time for an appointment can be made.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Boreham
Class Teacher 6CB
