Mr Anderson has taught Physics and Mathematics at King’s and has been renowned for his knowledge, his enthusiasm, his love of and capability with Information Technology and his ability to give students the necessary skills and understanding to excel in NCEA and Scholarship examinations.
While we will miss Mr Anderson, we are thankful for his significant contributions in the classroom and beyond it. We also acknowledge his heart for others and his desire to make a difference in the lives of people less fortunate than himself. It is this desire, as well as his love for India, that sees him heading to Northern India to teach.
We wish Mr Anderson all the best in his travels and endeavours beyond King’s.
