As the priciple of Mosman High, Mrs Susan Wyatt has been greatly supportive to the Chinese teaching and learning in Mosman in the past decade. Under her leadership, the Chinese program has been growing stronger and stronger. Mosman High School has witnessed a considerable number of achievements.
Under her initiative, Mosman High School becomes the first high school at NSW that provides Chinese accelerated program from year 7.
Her active and enthusiastic cooperation with DEC NSW makes Mosman High School be one of the first seven Confucius Classrooms at NSW in 2012. Due to her dedication and contribution, she was chosen to be in Confucius Institute Board, NSW in 2017. She is the only principal in this board.
With Susans ongoing support and inspiration, her staff member, Victor Zhang, Chinese teacher at Mosman High School was awarded 2010 Endevour Language Teachers Fellowship and 2016 Premiers Kingold Chinese Language Teacher Scholarship, was chosen to be a Chinese teacher mentor in Asian Languages Program in 2011 and in DoE Visual Language Mentor Network program in 2017. She also encourages Victor to be involved in NESA exam committee, HSC marking and presenting workshops in DoE and CLTA conferences.
Susan never stops encouraging her students to fulfil their potential in learning Chinese and to explore the world. In the past six years, Mosman High School won the Chinese Bridge Competition NSW three times. These winners have been to and will go to China representing Australia for Chinese competition on a global stage.
In 2015, Lexie Dent, recommended by Susan, went to China for the reality show We Are Young. It turned out to be a hit on the TV screen in China. In 2017, she sent Victoria Moura-Watt and Eloise Morgan to China for another teenager TV show joining twenty students across the world. They both were among the most popular characters in the show, which will be aired this September.
Susan loves Chinese culture and buys Chinese art work every time when she is back from to Australia. In the past six years, she took three groups of students to Jingshan Schoolo, the sister school in Beijing and agreed with the schools motto Three Gears of Education.
