Hi

My name is Mr Turner. I have been a PE teacher at Govan High School since 2018. I have really enjoyed working here.

My favourite sports to watch is Football and basketball.  I used to play basketball in the Scottish national League.  I have coached basketball in UK, America, China and Vietnam.

I organise the school basketball teams and the school of basketball.

This academic year I am teaching core PE and National 5.

When I left school I attended Langside College and completed an HND in Sports coaching.  I  then completed a degree at Paisley University.  While studying I managed to get a part time job coaching basketball, football, swimming and gymnastics.  After working for 3 years as a basketball coach and a sports development officer, I decided to complete my Post Graduate Degree in Education (PGDE) to become a PE teacher.

My favourite sporting quote is by Michael Jordan

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”
