Mr. Betsis signs off on a high
This year is Mr. Betsis 37th year serving the students of NSW Public Schools. He has dedicated his life to improving learning in mathematics for young people and we are very grateful. George, in his 37th year was awarded the Ministers Award for Excellence in Teaching and has been a pivotal part of the senior exec for over 5 years. I had the pleasure of interviewing him about his career, what he has learnt and what advice he would give young teachers coming into the profession. He has taught across the state from a large school like ours, inner west at Mount Druitt High, coastal Port Macquarie High and also enjoying the far reaches of our state at a central school called Tullamore (130 Ks west of Dubbo) with 120 students from K-12, where he was the HT Secondary Studies. He said, he loved every experience and met some amazing people both students, parents and teachers along the way. He spoke about extraordinary mathematicians he taught as students, ‘wow, some students are just incredible’. George intends to first recharge the batteries and then look to travel back to Greece to catch up with his relatives that he has not seen in years. All the best Mr. Betsis. One of the gold teachers! #ThankyouandAllTheBest From all your UHS Family!
