Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Mark (well, nearly!)

Well, where to start? My Full name is Mark John Tennant. I (if you didn't already notice) teach Computing to the lovely pupils of Dunbar Grammar School ; something I consider to be a real honour. I am also the Subject Support Co-ordinator for Computing , which involves organising professional development opportunities for the computing teachers and spending central funding on materials and training to improve Computing as a subject across East Lothian.

I am a graduate of the University of Stirling , where I gained a Bachelor of Science degree, along with my Diploma in Education. Prior to teaching at Dunbar I was at Galashiels Academy in the Borders, where I served my probationary period. Going back even further into the mists of time, (when it were all fields round 'ere - oh, wait, it still is!) I was a pupil at Kelso High School .

When I get some free time I am a keen mountaineer and a member of the local Mountain Rescue Team in Kelso (where I live). While many would question the wisdom of volunteering to be raised from your bed by a beeper at 3 in the morning, the challenges and rewards are second to none. Last year I had the pleasure and challenge of becoming the first Emergency Medical Technician on the team, and have been involved in several life-threatening incidents which have been brought to a successful conclusion, learning vital lesons about teamwork and responsibility that would be impossible to imagine in a 9 to 5 job! If only it wasn't for that damned beeper...!!!
