During the first weeks of school we have been testing the basic skills of our students. This allows us to have a clear picture of the areas that need to be targeted and also to track progress made by students during their time at G.W.A.
Hi, my name is Dean Winders. I am originally from the North East of England and studied at Reading University earning my BA(Ed) in Physical Education. My passion for educating lifelong learners started in the classroom, teaching grades 2-5 and eventually becoming a Key Stage coordinator. My personal interests always revolved around sport so it seemed a natural transition to become a full time P.E. teacher. I believe that sport not only creates a healthy body but it also demands a healthy mind.
I have been in Dubai for 15 years and have enjoyed working at several prominent schools within Dubai, Jumeirah College, Dubai English Speaking School and Rashid School for Boys, where I was head of department for 9 years. I have played many sports at club level and particularly enjoyed rugby and football. My main interests now are to stay fit, strong and healthy and I do this by cycling, and using the gym. I also enjoy travelling with my family, sometimes to relax and sometimes to set ourselves new challenges within the trekking world. I am very excited to be joining the vibrant G.W.A. team and being part of the exciting journey that the school will be offering you. |
