Mr Finney- Class Teacher

I am the teacher for Amethyst class and this is going to be my seventh year at Homer. My aim is to make everyday exciting and filled with opportunities to learn. I enjoy teaching all subjects but you will see me get extremely enthusiastic (and competitive) during PE lessons. Outside of the classroom I enjoy playing sports, seeing friends and family, and going for walks with my wife, daughters Delilah and Bronwyn and our dogs Peggy and Matilda. I cannot wait to see you all grow and succeed during your time in Amethyst class!
