My name is Alan Peter. Being in the bush is my happy place, with bird watching and photography my favourite pastimes. My days of hiking, canoeing, and roughing it are over, but were both challenging and fun while they lasted. My career journey to Treverton had many twists and turns, via Namibia, Port Elizabeth and the Northern Cape, as I tried to escape God’s calling on me to teach, but He does not easily let one go! I have been able to draw on my forays into the business world (self-help housing, administration of a small diamond mine) to enrich my teaching, so it was not all wasted. I love the relational aspect of being in the classroom and am blessed to call many previous pupils my friends.

I arrived at Treverton last year as an intern after having attended here as a pupil from 2003-2018! I absolutely love the outdoors and working in boys boarding at the prep has made me explore more of the outdoors as the boys are always up for new challenges and experiences and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I have been part of the Treverton family for just over 2 years. First as a parent and now as a member of staff. I have a wonderful husband, who manages a sugarcane and macadamia nut farm on the North Coast and we have 3 beautiful children. I love my job as no two days are the same. Variety is the spice of life! As a family we feel blessed to be apart of this very special school.

Each one of us can help, no matter how small, to touch the lives of those around us. The Symons family farm lies outside Mooi River.  Ella who attends Treverton (Grade 12) having seen the devastation caused by the recent riots and how badly affected the residents are, raised funds, gathered food and distributed parcels in Colenso. #everybithelps #kindnessmatters #thetrevertonexperience

I arrived at Treverton 6½ years ago after I had decided to return from teaching in South Korea to further my studies. I was a locum for a teacher who had gone on maternity leave when a permanent position become available, so have been teaching full-time since 2016.
I have a passion for people, society, and understanding how the human mind works, so it is no wonder that I teach Life Orientation. I am also an avid reader, plant lover, and DIY enthusiast.  I have learned a lot at Treverton and it has been a place that has allowed me to grow but especially given me the opportunity to be part of something different.
I am big on adopting a growth mindset and particularly love this quote by Frank A. Clark  “if you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere”
