Wee Boon Nee
Discover how Wee Boon Nee's experience in PE education shapes his belief in teachers as role models who embrace a growth mindset.
Prior to joining PESTA, Boon Nee has been with River Valley Primary School for 10 years (as Head of Department (PE) for 5 years) and Dazhong Primary School as Head of Department (PE) for 12 years and Lead Teacher (PE) for 6 years.
Boon Nee believes strongly in teachers as role-models for teaching and learning. Regardless of their years in service and experience, everyone brings with them different expertise and learning dispositions which others can learn from. Adopting the correct learning disposition should be the key focus which would lead to a positive outcome. Whilst we want students to develop the joy of learning, teachers should also develop and experience the joy of teaching by adopting a growth mindset and equipping themselves with the relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Boon Nee loves to play badminton in his free time. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, he would play badminton twice a week and cycle occasionally along park connectors. He enjoys listening to instrumental music which helps him to relax and stay focus while working.
