Gary Peach is well respected. He was a outdoor education teacher at Hillary College back then now called Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate. I didn't realize he was teaching at aorere from 1997 to 2004 if I'm correct. Big ups Peachy
Not much Student management in NZ schooling nowdays could honestly walk around an name all of the students they walk past , We need more teaches like ole Matua Peach
If only these students knew then what they know now what mr peach was trying to achieve and accomplish. Esp for our young maori and pacific islanders growing up around that era was tough and hard out south Auckland. Breaking stereotype and showing our people the right way and how our dreams and aspiration can become a reality🙌. Reminds me of the film FREEDOM WRITERS but the nz/poly version. Powerful doco with a good message. Hope and pray all these students in this clip are doing well for themselves asz well as peach...
Huge Respect to this guy man...a actual teacher that goes around looking for his students down the road,park,home and cares for them...majority of teachers worry about next payday...kudos my man
Having teachers like Mr peach would be enough to encourage you to stay in school, he did whatever he could do in his power to make sure certain students didn't miss out on good education or any opportunity. Treated and greeted every pupil like his own 🥺 Gottr Admit the end got me choked up abit 🤦♂️
Alicia :( poor girl. She was bullied cos she was pretty which is typical in islanders. Being bullied has to be the worst feeling ever. You don’t ever want to go back. I know how it feels. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Hope she’s doing better in life now xx
Mr Peach is a hardman but only wants what is best for the youth. Gotta love those straight up grumpy guys, they always seem to be the best and the most caringness people when you get to know them ❤︎
Now that im older I truly do regret being a pain in the a** to my teachers. It took some maturing for me to understand that and funny enough, my wife is a pre school teacher and seeing the stress she goes through just puts so much in perspective to how I probably made my teachers feel when they got home. Kids if you're reading this you probably won't get it, but don't make the same mistake. Make the most of school cause the real world is unforgiving!
The fact that he acknowledges each student by name speaks volumes in itself. What a great teacher. Had a lot of teachers like him in my Christian high school. You don’t realise it till you leave school. That they have good intentions.
MR PEACH actually cared for his students especially for the Maori/poly kids, when I came to Aus the teachers didn't understand what would happen at home but with mr peach he would follow up on it
Unfortunately, teachers like this man can not be taught. They are a one-off unique phenomenon that only comes about through multicultural upbringing in the very same environment they are endeavoring to make better. He should be sponsored by red bull cause he is exhausting to watch!
32:58 “it’s actually easier to do nothing” bruh 🤦♂️that’s the difference between most teachers and good teachers like mr peach. They wanna do the bare minimum whereas he goes the extra mile for those kids especially because he knows a lot of them are at risk youth.
beautiful story :) we need more people around the world like him. When growing up teenage boys need good male role models and being a 15 year old boy and knowing how hard it is, i feel them all. i hope mr peach is going alright aye
If that many students are crying the day you leave that’s how you know you’ve done a good job. They wouldn’t like him if he didn’t influence them in some way
honestly i have so much respect for mr. peach💯. he is the first teacher i have ever seen care about his students. he puts his best effort in to understanding where the student is coming from wether they are getting bullied, abused, depressed, not going to school, etc, but he actually DOES something about it. sadly, on the other hand, we have teachers that are too lazy to give a shit & only care abt getting paid. so yeah we do need more teachers like mr. peach🗣.
Gary Peach and all the other staff at this school are just beyond amazing. To do the work they did for these kids are nothing short of fantastic. Sadly the profession is and has been stretched far beyond the limits, and burnout is real
i cant js feel jesses pain through this video , and also his embarrassment walking through the school while crying :( . i js know jesse is a good guy .
These kids probably watching this as adults with disgust and with regrets making their parents suffer like that. All their sacrifices blood and sweat early hours in the morning by car or bus to work their ass off for dimwitted kids who thought wagging was cool. 🤦🏾♂️
Mr Peach is the bomb, kids need to be disiplined , because they are so naughty at high school. They need to be told off, or they will get a way with it.If you ask me they need to be strict with them , to have good results , positive outlook.
Does anyone know what happened to Jesse Thomas, man that guy you can see he was going through some other stuff probably at home, him crying broke my heart. Any updates???
Great teacher. Alot of those situations didn't need parents involved. Better off threatening the kids that you will tell the parents. Most kids back then got the bash if the parents got called in for getting in trouble.
