Meet some staff - Gold Coast campus

Sidney Barker - Business teacher

Qualifications: Diploma of Business (Travel & Tourism) – TAFE, Certificate IV Training & Assessment,  Karitane Nursing Certificate and 12 years of Teaching.  I started teaching through my love of the industry that I had worked in for many years, that being Travel & Tourism.

What I love most is the interaction with my students and watching them develop throughout the year as they gain the much needed knowledge that I impart.

I believe our students choose us through ‘Word of Mouth’ which is a very big accolade to our teaching staff and college as a whole.  The students enjoy being part of our team and we can combine learning with having a good time.

My Hobbies are reading, gardening and occasionally taking care of my grandchild.
