We’re pleased to welcome Mr. Martin Oosthuizen to the Middle School Science team! Originally from South Africa, Mr. Martin began his teaching career there before making the move to Hong Kong, where he has lived for the past three years. He brings with him not only a passion for science education but also a strong belief in the power of positivity and connection. Whether it’s through inspiring students in the classroom or reflecting around a campfire, Mr. Martin lives by the motto: “Don’t tell me the sky is the limit when there are footsteps on the moon.”

My wife and I have been living in Hong Kong for three years, and we were looking to make a difference in a more established school with a different curriculum. I strongly resonate with “Love” as one of the school’s core values, as I believe that love should be at the center of everything we do, which caught my attention.

I enjoy being at a school that drives innovation and has a strong focus on putting the well-being of every student first. I have experienced a very welcoming community, and I look forward to contributing to the community in a positive manner.

My wife and family back home. I believe life is all about the times you spend with your special people. Make memories while you can!

I enjoy being a coach and exploring the outdoors Hong Kong has to offer. When I have the time, I also enjoy reading!

Usually, what my wife makes (I am a very grateful and spoiled husband) – My ideal lunchbox is leftover “braai” (loosely translated to a BBQ but very different!) meat and a classic “braaibroodjie” (translated to a sandwich toasted on a grill) .
