During his teaching years, Rob was also passionate about using technology to improve the quality of education in and out of the classroom. He successfully led the introduction of a whole school online platform, promoting paperless learning and enhancing communication between teachers, parents and students. This was fundamental to the high quality education offered during the recent pandemic.
