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!
