Teacher Feature

Dominic Bolger

What are you most afraid of and what's it stopping you from doing?

I have an irrational fear of balloons! It’s stopped me from taking part in some great birthday celebrations over the years. I don’t like the way they squeak, or smell, or *POP* unexpectedly! 

 

What is something that you do to relax and unwind?

I like to relax and unwind by walking my dog along the river, or spending time in my garden at home. I enjoy being outside as much as possible, so anytime I’m in the fresh air, I’m usually feeling pretty relaxed!

 

What super power would you like to have?

Super speed! I love to run, so being able to go incredibly fast would be helpful when taking part in some fun runs! 

 

What did you do growing up that got you into trouble?

Playing football inside the house with my older brother. We would somehow create what we felt like was the Grand Final inside our bedroom, using the door frame for goals and a pair of socks for a footy. We took it far too seriously and usually ended up arguing!

 

When are you the happiest?

I’m happiest when spending time with my family and friends, enjoying lots of laughs together.

What Characteristic do you most admire in others?

Resilience, kindness accountability and demonstrated empathy and thoughtfulness towards others.

 

What would a “perfect” day look like to you?

A nice big breakfast/brunch and an extra hot soy cappuccino with family or friends on the weekend.

 

What super power would you like to have?

I’d like to fly like a bird. I live 20 minutes away from Monty so it would be convenient if I could just fly to school to open before school care every morning.

 

What do you miss most about being a kid?

Having long school holidays and the magical feeling of Christmas.

 

What are you most grateful for?

I am grateful for people around me who are giving me chances to be better.

And I am grateful for my family.
