	（D）NET Scheme


	Hi, my name is Mr. Rich and I am from Birmingham in England. I have actually lived in Hong Kong for twelve years. I have been a NET teacher in Hong Kong for ten years. My wife is from Hong Kong and I have a 5-year-old son called Nathan. I also have a dog called Dicky. I love living in Hong Kong because there is so much to do, see and eat. I also like the weather because it is too cold for me in England! I have taught at St. Matthew’s Lutheran School (S.M.P) since 2017 and I teach the Primary Literacy Programme-Reading (PLP-R), oral lessons and enrichment programmes. I have really enjoyed getting to know all of my students since I came here. I’m always very friendly so please come and say hi!
