I have been born and raised inManchester, England which I

am very proud of especially as

this city being the rock of the

north. However I have family

connections which stem from

the Punjab in India. This has

allowed me to become cultur-

ally diverse as I have spent a

great deal of time visiting this

great place.

Firstly, I have enjoyed sports

from a very young age. I have

represented Trafford at foot-

ball and played for Lancashire

at Cricket. Also I really enjoyworking with children this has

stemmed from my time coach-

ing football for ManchesterCity. This passion has devel-

oped through out my life

which in turn has helped me

make my decisions to become

a Teacher of PE.

As mentioned above, I have

respectively represented

teams at a County level for

Football and Cricket. I like to

think that I am dab hand at all

sports, this is definitely por-

trayed through the serious-

ness I take all competitions.

I enjoy different types of Mu-

sic for example, R N B, Soul

and Bhangra (South Indian

Music). Furthermore I love

experiencing different cul-

tures, which has led me to visit

countries from Asia, Europe

and North America. My dream

Holiday would be to travel

around the World in 80 days!

To follow your aspirations, as I

am true believer in that if you

want something enough you

are more than capable of

achieving this. Work hard and

be a massive success in the

future!

the PE department. Wealready enjoy relation-ships with relationshipswith Manchester UnitedFoundation, Lancashire

County Cricket Club andSalford Reds. The aim isto add Ice Hockey andfigure skating to Project9. There are plans to dothis in the summer andto run a trip to the Phoe-nix.

Ice skating is a highlyskillful activity and to link

that to figure skating andIce Hockey opens up awhole new area of workfor students.

The link came about

from the fact that MrFielding is a regular IceHockey player at Altrin-cham Ice rink.

Future partnerships be-ing explored includeHorse Riding and Traf-ford Water Park.

It wasnt quite worthy ofthe TV, and both MrSingh and Mr Evanscould hardly stand upbut Ice Skating is on its

way to Stretford HighSchool!
