00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,280
My name's Ben. I'm the health and
physical education teacher

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,920
at Bwgcolman Community
 School over at Palm Island.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,240
A real benefit for me from teaching
 is just seeing how the students grow.

4
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:20,040
You can see the change in them from week
 to week and term to term.

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,760
And it's really,
 really rewarding to see that. 

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,400
So I'm really glad that I can be a part
 of instilling these healthy habits

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,520
in the children and hopefully giving them
 better health outcomes in the future.

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,520
So I switched careers from physiotherapy
 just because I wanted a change.

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,000
I always think I had the teaching bug
 that I couldn't shake.

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:40,920
So I did it all online
 and then a year and a half later

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,120
finished with a Master of Teaching
 and now I'm on Palm Island.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,640
It's very unique. It's beautiful.
 It's a great place to live and work.
