In his time at Newman, he has taught lower school Science, Year 11 and 12 Physics, Year 11 Chemistry and Year 10 Career Education and his favourite lesson to teach is Physics.

Luke had the whole audience in the palm of his hand. Beth Redwood also at the Year 12 Valedictory, making me cry when she sang like a bird. Jesse (The Hulk) Hogan came down to my son’s footy game, the parents turned to me and stirred me that he would not remember his Year 9 Science teacher’s name. He walks straight up to me and says, How ya goin Spriggo. We then pose for a photo with my son, he puts his arm around me and says, Good to see ya Big Fella. I have never been called Big Fella in my life, it was as sweet as a nut and I floated off the footy ground that day. Favourite quote: Pick up your gear and sit on the side bench If it’s not Physics, then it’s just stamp collecting If you think you know everything about Quantum Physics, then you know absolutely nothing about Quantum Physics Never fear, The Sprigg is here Fun Facts: John has more nicknames than any past or present staff member of Newman College: Spriggo The Sprigg Sprigg-Dog Spriggamortis Sprigmeister The Storyteller Darth Vader (I’m a heavy breather) Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (I can be funny or really moody) In his time at Newman, he has worked with The Spoon, The Comb, The Bell, The Bag, The Bat, The Bee, The Box, The Lane, The Rose, The Finn and The Fog. #celebrate #shinethroughdiscovery #maristfamily Catholic Education WA

04.01.2022 Time for some Newman Nostalgia! Richard John Bryant, known as Dick, was born in Perth on 8 May 1904.

04.01.2022 STAFF SPOTLIGHT Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Stuart McClorey, Leader of Wellbeing at the Lavalla Campus and Year 3 Red teacher. Stuart joined the Newman College staff at the beginning of this year. In his time at Newman, he has taught Year 3 and while his favourite topics to teach are Religion and Maths, Stuart most enjoys reading aloud to his class. His favourite thing about working at the Lavalla Campus is the students. They make the campus a very welcoming and... warm place to be and it is great to work with them all each day. Stuart loves talking to them, supporting them, or simply just playing handball with them. He is also very lucky to work within a team of highly skilled and committed staff and commends their willingness to go the extra mile for their students. In his free time, he loves to spend time with his wife Lisa and two children, Olivia and Alex. Stuart also loves going to the football and watching highlights of the NBA. Very, very occasionally he even gets to play a little bit of NBA2K (although this seems to be happening less and less these days!) Favourite Newman Memory: His favourite memory this year was something so small I'm sure many people might have missed it! We were presenting the Age Champion and Runner Up awards for the Athletics Carnival at Assembly when we called forward some girls in Year 3. Quick as a flash, Isla Kalebic jumped up when she heard her name, but instead of rushing forward to collect her award, her first instinct was to congratulate one of her other friends, who was also receiving an award. Isla's small act exemplified everything I would hope to see in all of our students. Her first thought was not for herself, but for others and even in the midst of her own joy, she was able to find room in her heart for someone else. This is the stuff I love most about working with children and these are the moments that I will always remember long into the future. I also made many great memories at the Year 6 camp this year! I'm not sure I would rate my 'less than graceful' fall from the pamper pole up there (as I was more terrified than the kids) but it was great to see so many students supporting each other so positively. Favourite quote: "Educating the mind, without educating the heart, is no education at all" Aristotle. Fun Facts: Stuart has two brothers - one is a construction manager here in Perth and the other is a scientist who works and teaches at Oxford University. He also once spent two years living in and around remote communities across the NT and Kimberley region. #celebrate #shinethroughdiscovery #maristfamily Catholic Education WA
