Steven ZAMMIT

After completing my PGCE (Primary) I worked in London for three years. In 2002 I started my first international teaching post in Egypt. I then moved onto Malaysia where I was the Year 5 leader. I have held leadership roles in Nepal, Uganda (Deputy Head Primary) and now at BISC.
As I start my twenty-first year of teaching, it still amazes me what a privilege it is to teach children. As a teacher I believe in everyday excellence and that reaching your potential should be an expectation and a goal achievable by everyone.

Primary Teacher

I am a qualified Drama teacher with over 7 years of experience.

Before joining BIS Casablanca, I taught Drama in both the United Kingdom and China and had a number of diverse roles from Lead Practitioner of Drama to Head of Year.

Drama is a cross-curricular subject that imbues students with valuable, transferable life-skills. I believe that every child is capable of academic excellence and exceptional progress when given the right support and guidance. I wish to inspire a love of learning in my classroom through engaging lessons, celebrating successes and developing strong and positive relationships with my students. I am committed to offering a wealth of additional opportunities for students and see them as integral for young people to not only showcase their talents, but also provide additional and alternative routes to excel and achieve.
