Mr John Picart 

"Working for an eyewear company for five years as a warehouse clerk and credit controller while studying full time at university was rather interesting.  Taking the humdrum and the robust lifestyle both in stride was enough to keep me looking forward to "better days." After obtaining a "ticket of entry" (BA & Dip.Ed) into the teaching profession, I started working at Bethel in January of 1999.  My teaching subjects are: History, English and Drama. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, all types of food, all types of music, sports and people.  It's funny how certain things never change.  To me, teaching is still the humdrum and the robust lifestyle intermingled.  So when will I see better days?  As soon as I enter the car park on Monday morning."
