Maths Alumni Teachers

Edward Koorey (16) and Christopher Lee (16) were both taught by our current Head of Mathematics, Graham Hanlon. They attribute their passion for teaching to their time at Barker and especially their final years studying Mathematics in his Extension 2 classroom. Edward has joined the Mathematics department this year after completing a Master of Teaching at the University of Sydney. Christopher teaches in both the Christian Studies and Mathematics departments.

Peter Boyages (05), Rhys Williams (08) and Daniel Batchen (11) are all Alumni. Peter and Daniel were taught by Graham Hanlon and Daniel says: “I had never particularly considered Maths as one of my favourite subjects until Year 11, when I found the concepts and problems to solve much more interesting and satisfying. By the end of Year 12, I considered Maths to be the most rewarding subject I had studied at school.”

Andrew Mallam (97) was taught by Boyd Carruthers who teaches alongside him today. Darren Peattie (93) teaches many children of his former peers both in his Mathematics class and his role as head of Wilson House.

Amy Young (91) joined Barker in Year 11 and studied 4-unit Mathematics with Dr John Scott, the father of Dr Timothy Scott (92) a current History teacher. Amy brings to the Mathematics department a love of Mathematics and a passion for understanding the needs of girls.

We are fortunate to have such a passionate team of Mathematics teachers including our Junior School Mathematics specialist, Edwin Tomlins (97) who currently teaches the grandson of his Year 12 Mathematics teacher.
