Meet David Sammut

How long have you worked at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs?
A year and 5 months

What is your role at the school?
I am one of the Year 8 Year Level Leaders as well as a Materials Technology and Woodwork teacher.

What is your ideal way to unwind and relax?
Anything that involves working with my hands. Nothing else makes everything else fade into the background than when I am focused on creating something with my own two hands.

When you were little what did you aspire to be?
I wanted to be an inventor which lead to me studying product design. I soon found that I loved teaching those around me how to take their ideas and turn them into something tangible. Its made me the perfect fit for being a design teacher.

What skill would you like to master?
Japanese Joinery – The Japanese are masters of their craft, who take their time and focus on patience in the moment rather than rushing to the end result.

What tv series are you into at the moment?
Billy Connolly’s “Rambling man”. A famous comedian who has had an interesting life filled with trials and tribulations yet still remains upbeat and driven.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mums “Qaqoċċ” (Maltese Artichokes) – A lot of people don’t enjoy them because they take some time to eat, but I have so many memories tied to eating this one dish, and I’m grateful Ma would always make it for me when I needed a pick me up!

What's your favourite holiday destination?
Japan – I’ve been there three times now and could never get sick of the place. The people are lovely, food is delicious and there are so many unique villages to visit.
