A graduate of St Andrew’s Theological College, Father Peter began at St Spyridon College fourteen years ago, and has taught a variety of subjects including the Greek language, PDHPE and Orthodox Studies. He has been a Year Adviser over many years. He has an innate love of sport and has been a strong contributor to the school’s involvement in ISA sports. He was honoured by the Combined Independent Schools (CIS) for Service to Sports in 2010. His leadership was highlighted in Orthodox Studies, developing a common Orthodox Studies programme and a comprehensive resource (ie. textbooks) base for all Greek Orthodox Colleges. He lifted the profile of Orthodox Studies as a Board Endorsed Course with the Board of Studies.
