Francis ChenHaving grown up in a city like Singapore, I always managed to find myself working with nature, where I belong and love. I am very fortunate to have been given a chance to work at the Alpine School, nestled right in the beautiful Victorian Alps. I have been involved in outdoor experiential learning with adolescents and corporate programs since my ventures in the outdoors began, and these have largely contributed to my strong belief of experiential learning.

Working with a wide diverse range of students has always provided me with valuable and enjoyable experiences. I look forward for the future years to come.

I attained my Diploma in IT some 12 years ago, and then completed a Bachelor in Sports and Outdoor Recreation, and then finally a Post Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education. Now, I am in a school which encompasses my ideal educational setup which is experiential and in the outdoors, providing real life learning and challenges, together with the most important ingredient of enjoyment in an extended community.

My life is always exciting, be it going bike riding (off or on-road), bushwalking, rock climbing, telemark skiing or skydiving, for I am always seeking new challenges. Another exciting moment in my life is the anticipated arrival of my son, emerging into this world.
