Q&A with Mrs. Dufour

What subject do you teach?
Geography and Tourism.

How long have you been teaching?
16 years.

What other schools have you been at?
St. Annes and Catholic Central.

What are some things you like about teaching at St. Josephs?
Where do I even start? The students here light up my life. Such a variety of personalities and backgrounds. You all make me smile every day with your enthusiasm, humour, and individuality. Also... Mr. Nadalin's cooking!

What inspired you to go into teaching?
I just knew I loved geography and traveling, and want the chance to share what I know with others. I almost went into urban planning, but now that I am here, I KNOW I made the right choice with teaching.

Why did you choose to teach your specific subject?
I have an absolute passion for all things travel and Earth-related.

Fun facts about you!
I have traveled to 34 countries and counting and I bungee jumped when I was 12 years old (I would NEVER do it now).
