05.01.2022 Teacher Update - Introducing Tim Koenig I am already looking forward to day one of school in 2021. Excitement is high and I cant wait to join the community at St Catherine of Siena next year. Over the last two years I have taught around Geelong and kept myself busy writing a couple of childrens novels. In the classroom I want to share my love of learning new things with my students so that they feel encouraged to explore and make discoveries of their own. I aim to create a space where students develop empathy for others and a confidence in their own unique potential. Outside school my days are filled with painting landscapes, writing silly stories, bouldering, having fun at youth group and running around the bush with my boisterous dog, Goose.
