Questions for Mr Gulavin

This year, we are excited to welcome Mr. Declan Gulavin to the Our Holy Redeemer teaching staff as the newest member of our Year 5/6 team. With seven years of experience working in schools  including four as a classroom teacher   Mr. Gulavin brings enthusiasm, dedication, and a fresh perspective to our learning community. While this is his first time teaching a Year 5/6 class, he’s eager to take on the challenge and is looking forward to an exciting year of learning and growth with his students. Mr Gulavin has shared with us some information about him.

What made you want to become  a teacher?

“Both my parents are teachers and inspired me to help children learn. I wanted to create a safe space for students and teachers so that is what inspired me to become a teacher.” said Mr Gulavin

Why did you decide to teach at OHR?

“I recently moved into the area here and wanted to challenge myself. I heard great things about the school so I decided to move.”

How many cups of coffee does it take to teach this class without crying?

“4 in the morning!”

If teaching didn’t exist, what would you be doing—besides ruling the world?

“Always wanted to be a teacher since I was 12 years old. Teaching is everything I had ever known. And I have never really thought about anything else.”

What’s your go-to “I need to look busy” activity during a meeting?

“I always have a pen or texta in hand so I look like I am always ready to do something and a tip is if you don't want to be interrupted walk really fast so that you look busy😂".
