Before coming to the island, he taught in South Africa for three years, and the UK for 18 years. 
Mr Breedt was nominated by Year 11 student Billy Le Page. ‘Every school needs a Mr Breedt,’ he said. ‘He’s funny and he makes his classroom feel more open, which is something you want in a teacher.’
Billy also commended Mr Breedt for his support both in and out of school. ‘I can speak to him when there are issues at school, but he also comes to watch my performing arts,’ he added.
‘I know the challenges they go through,’ said Mr Breedt 
‘It can be a tough job, so it’s important to work together as a team.’
Mr Breedt wanted to use his nomination to recognise the commitment of the whole school. ‘I am proud of the whole school community and their accomplishments,’ he said. 
‘I know how hard other teachers work.
‘The kids are lovely, the parents are super, we are very lucky.’
