Staff in the Spotlight

With so many staff at Wantirna College, we would like to give our school community the opportunity to get to know them in a fun way. Each week we will be spotlighting a new staff member and sharing with you all sorts of fun and interesting stories about who they are and most importantly, why they became a teacher and what they love most about teaching! 

This week we are spotlighting Robert Liang. 

Robert has joined the Science team this year and is teaching Physics to our senior students. Welcome Robert!
