新進教師風采(一)
(編者按:本學年因新進教師人數眾多,限於篇幅,無法一次刊登完畢。共分兩次介紹,敬請期待。)
國小部 張文怡老師

真的很高興,也很榮幸能夠加入實驗中學這個大家庭。
從來沒想過會離開台中工作,尤其還是從小到大到過次數屈指可數的新竹,或許這就是冥冥之中的緣分吧!
這裡的師長們都十分親切,小朋友們也都非常活潑熱情,讓我少了許多離家的思愁,而能將全部的心思放在教學及行政工作上。這一年,我擔任體育組的工作,還需要大家多多給予支持鼓勵和指教,也期許自己能儘快融入這個大家庭。
國小部 王盈琪老師

各位大朋友、小朋友大家好,我是自然科任老師王盈琪,畢業於台北市立教育大學科學教育研究所,很高興今年有榮幸進入實中這個大家庭。我的興趣是到處旅行,體驗大自然中各式各樣有趣的事。另外我也喜歡閱讀跟科學有關的書籍來增加自己的知識與常識,並和大家分享。相信未來在實中的日子一定既豐富又精彩,也希望藉由跟大朋友及小朋友的互動中,彼此學習,一同成長喔。
國中部 郭怡伶老師
我是土生土長在高雄卻不是台妹的郭怡伶,除了大學在台北就學之外,已無在北部居住打拼的經驗;邁入教育界第二年,孤陋寡聞不知實驗中學響亮名號的我,誤打誤撞進入實中大家庭,並且擔任訓育組長一職,雖然午夜夢迴曾有「誤上賊船」之慮,但目前來看,一切都相當美好。
來到新竹工作,純屬人生規劃的意外,還以為未來將在濁水溪以南度過教職生涯,但看到榜單上斗大「郭怡伶」三字,或許是在告訴我,人生藍圖中總有意想不到的事情會發生,不需給自己侷限太多。
高中部 林安英老師
樂觀卻又神經大條是我的個人特質,常常因為早晨溫暖的陽光感到幸福萬分,卻又因為丟三落四感到懊惱不已,但不管如何,希望在未來的日子裡,可以和實中的大夥兒一同分享我的喜悅與感動!
生於台中八零三軍醫的六年級班長,青少女之前活動於台中,大學研究所時期遊走於人文氣息濃厚的台南成大。婚後來到新竹,平靜的生活中有三名熱鬧的子女和學生們的聲音、日日相隨。
認同張愛玲說的:「教書很難,既要做戲、又要做人。」但卻樂於把教書當作精采的戲劇,讓生活得以在穩當中充實愉快地行進。
張潮有云:「少年讀書,如隙中窺月;中年讀書,如庭院望月;老年讀書,如台上玩月。」現階段雖未能言老,卻正往著玩味生活的路子上走。期待實中生活亦如是。
高中部 謝芳儒老師
大家好!我是謝芳儒!
很高興來到實驗高中這個自由、活潑、充滿創新點子的大家庭!
出生自台北的我,對於新竹並不陌生,因為大學跟研究所都是在新竹,所以早就適應新竹的風大跟雨少了!(跟台北比起來……)
去年大約這個時候,就在八八水災後,我撿到一隻黃金獵犬,把她照片放上來順便介紹她好了!她是四歲的女生叫「檸檬」,一般大家對黃金獵犬的印象是很溫馴,但她看到別的狗或貓都有些攻擊性,這真是太奇怪了!不過她很喜歡跟人類撒嬌喔!下次有機會把她帶來實驗,跟爺爺的Tammy見面,希望能成為「好狗友」!
雙語部 歐凱欣老師Ms. Katy O'Briant

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and had the
opportunity to live in many beautiful places in California.
After taking time off from school to marry and raise two
wonderful sons, I finished my college education at the
University of Houston and then taught English at the local high
school in Magnolia, Texas for three years before wanderlust
struck me and I decided to seek out an overseas teaching
position. I love teaching and traveling and so teaching abroad
is the perfect job for me. This adventure marks my first visit
to Asia and also my first time to live on my own. I hope it will
also be the opportunity for many other lessons and experiences.
I am excited to be joining such a diverse and dedicated staff
and to have the opportunity to work with so many wonderful
students.
雙語部 林凱莉老師 Ms. Grace Lin

Salutations! My name is Grace Lin and I am from sunny
California. I still find it unbelievable sometimes that I am
living in Taiwan, of all places, and teaching at IBSH. My love
of traveling and teaching coexist in the perfect mix - what more
could I ask for? As much as I grumble about the daily grind of
my profession, I always chuckle and smile over the ridiculous
little things that I overhear from the kids. The IBSH family is
simply amazing, and I am having a ball getting to know my
colleagues, room parents, and kids. My family is originally from
Taiwan, so I am excited about coming back to learn about my
roots and being immersed in all that this rich culture has to
offer. 真的好幸福!
雙語部 米漢娜老師Ms.Hannah Miller

I’m from the United States (Orlando, Florida…home of Disney
World, sunshine, and gators), and I have a bachelor’s of science
in elementary education from the University of Central Florida.
I am one of the current IBSH Grade One teachers. I love:
canoeing, SCUBA diving, running, biking, hiking, swimming,
taking part in manual labor service projects, ultimate frisbee,
coffee, reading, journaling, fellowshipping with friends and
family, laughing, and playing the guitar. My favorite book is
Captivating by John and Staci Eldridge. Current personal goal:
run a half marathon in two hours. My current spiritual goal:
start studying the Bible more in-depth. My favorite subject in
school was: Physical Education. My favorite subject to teach:
Science. My favorite animal: the lion. What I love about Taiwan:
how dedicated the Taiwanese are to recycling, the mountains, and
extremely kind people. The thing I miss most about home besides
friends and family: my church and canoeing down my favorite
Springs river. My favorite food: peanut butter sandwich. What I
love most about teaching: making learning fun and helping my
students think critically. Random fact about me: I can do the
splits.
雙語部 馬雪洛老師Ms. Sheryl MacLeod

My name is Sheryl MacLeod and I am very excited to be joining
IBSH this year. I am originally from Nova Scotia, Canada but
have called Taiwan home for the past 12 years.I am a graduate of
Dalhousie and St. Francis Xavier Universities, and have been
teaching since 1996. Before joining IBSH, I taught in Hsinchu
and Canada. This year marks my return to the classroom after 3
years in Administration. I believe that the classroom has to be
a place where everyone is comfortable and willing to learn. I
want my students to love coming to school. This year will be an
opportunity for my students and I to learn and grow together.
For leisure I enjoy hiking, reading, and spending time with my
family. We enjoy traveling through Asia and seeing the beautiful
scenery in Taiwan
雙語部 吳蘿莉老師Ms.Lory Peroff

Aloha IBSH! My name is Lory Peroff. I am very happy to be the
new fourth grade Humanities teacher. My husband and I just moved
to Taiwan from Hawaii where I taught as a fifth grade teacher
for 4 years. ?Prior to teaching in Hawaii, I taught in many
countries all over the world including Uzbekistan, Tonga, and
Ghana. In addition to my passion for teaching and traveling, I
truly enjoy reading new books, running, swimming, and surfing. I
am so pleased to have moved from one beautiful island to
another. ?In Hawaii, we greatly value our “ohana” which means
family. ?I look forward to learning and growing with my new IBSH
ohana.
雙語部 喬安娜老師Ms.Joanna du Toit

My name is Joanna du Toit and I will be 3B’s homeroom teacher
for this school year (2010-2011). I am Canadian and I have
taught for more than five years in various Asian countries and
most recently, I spent three years teaching at Hsinchu
International School. I believe in establishing an interesting
and supportive learning community within my classroom and I will
ensure that each student experiences encouragement and mutual
respect in my classroom. I anticipate a fun-filled year that
will challenge students to do their best as we embark on this
rewarding journey of learning together.
