PQ? WHAT IS YOUR STACEY ATTERTON Keystone Physical Health Education (PHE) Teacher P atience, persistence and passion are fundamental to any athlete who wants to succeed in their chosen sport. John Atterton, one of Australia’s former top athletes and Olympian coaches, believes this and clearly so does his daughter, Stacey Atterton, who brings this passion, energy and enthusiasm to Keystone Academy as a PHE teacher and coordinator. A world-ranked athlete herself, and mother of four boys, Ms. Atterton is passionate about fitness. Some years ago, she ranked third in the world under-20 400m hurdles, which led her to receive a full scholarship to Boston University where she completed her Masters in Sport & Educational Psychology. But this PHE teacher, with over 30 years of teaching experience in her home country, believes that PHE is not just about fitness, but also “about life skills, about how to live healthy.” Meet Keystone’s model athlete, and fitness and life guru to students – Ms. Stacey Atterton, the complete teacher. www.keystoneacademy.cn 39
