We are delighted to announce that, in 𝗠𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘂𝘀, we have found an individual who embodies the values, energy and compassion needed to guide Arthur Kingwill House into its next chapter.
Mr Sparrius is no stranger to the Union family. Having joined Union High School in 2012 as a Life Sciences teacher, he quickly established himself as a respected educator and a mentor to our learners.
His involvement in rugby and athletics – 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 – has made him a favourite among our learners, who appreciate both his enthusiasm and genuine care.
