Interviewer: What made you choose this school?
Mr. Gisby: I know this school for a very long time; 34 years in Peru. I pass through everyday when I used to go to Markham, and I knew it existed, and that it was taken over and that they did a great job building it up. So when they contacted me and told me that there was a possibility of work on the Villa site, which is very nice and I knew that it has an international program curriculum, so I knew that I was gonna have more freedom to do things which I didn't necessary have in my last school.
Interviewer: Up to this moment, what do you like most about this college?
Mr. Gisby: The most wonderful experience since I’ve been here are you the students.You are all so friendly and you work so hard in the classes. It’s been a pleasure to be with you. I did teaching last week, as well. I teach chemistry, as I was talking with the students in my class and they are great. They make answers, they answer question, they participate and they were very respectful. What would I like more than that?
Interviewer: What other experiences have you had as a teacher and where?
Mr. Gisby: I've got a long career now, maybe end of it. I started at school in Wimbledon, where they play tennis in England. I was teaching there for 3 years. Then I went to Markham for 20 years. I was head master in secondary section for 15 years. Then I went to Montevideo in Uruguay, I was headmaster and was 4 years there.
Mr. Gisby: Uhm… When I was at school I loved my chemistry teacher. As he was teaching us, he was doing experiments and he was writing thing on the board and I loved chemistry in those days. And I ended thinking “Uhm.. It look like a nice job and a nice thing to do. He got clothes, he got a car, he got a house, so you can make a good living from being a teacher. So that’s what... The seed, was when i was actually at school, a little bit older than you. I was about eight.. Seventeen years old and I effectively made the decision there, because I saw it was enjoyable basically. It was helping people, I always tried to help the people that I can.
