Bryce Goldburg
The Southport School
A teacher acknowledged by the Royal Australian Navy as “the face of the Navy on the Gold Coast”, Bryce Goldburg has had an extraordinary career providing students with diverse, unique and inspiring opportunities.
The Southport School (TSS) Dean of Studies has also been nominated for the Queensland College of Teachers Outstanding Contribution to Teaching Award.
Since beginning his teaching career in 1986, Bryce has taught in almost every faculty area and expanded his expertise with the evolution of technology.
In the early 90s, he started teaching computing and information processing as he saw it as a fledging subject requiring skills students would need in the future.
He was integral to the creation of TSS’s Navy Cadet Unit in 1993 and has since provided students with opportunities not otherwise possible by liaising with veterans and defence units in the wider community.
As Commanding Officer of Training Ship Southport, Bryce organised and facilitated the first-ever Navy Cadet Flotilla Activity day for TSS, and was instrumental in aligning the school with their twinning cadet unit HMAS Melbourne.
Greg Wain, Headmaster at TSS, says Bryce is regularly commended by past parents for preparing students for the academic rigours of university life.
“The diverse, unique and inspiring opportunities Bryce has afforded the young people he has taught throughout his career are truly exceptional; he has made and continued to make an outstanding contribution to teaching,” Greg says.
As Dean of Studies, Bryce employs his exceptional people-management and problem-solving abilities to create timetables that enables every member of the school community to meet their potential.
Bryce is also a member of the Executive of the Independent Education Union of Australia and is known by his colleagues as the go-to for assistance in all matters pertaining to industrial issues.
Jo Inglis, Deputy Headmaster at TSS, describes Bryce as being emotionally intelligent and caring.
“He is the voice of reason and is most highly regarded in this role, which he performs with authenticity and the utmost integrity,” Jo says.
In his time at TSS Bryce has also been the Director of Gymnastics and Wrestling, a cricket and rugby union coach, a Pastoral Care teacher and Acting Housemaster.
He has taught Senior Earth Science, Senior Chemistry, Senior Marine Studies, Junior Mathematics, Computing and Information Processing, Religion, Digital Technologies, Junior Graphics, Business and Enterprise, Geography, Drama and Physical Education.
Congratulations Bryce on your nomination.
