Mark Joose
Lismore
High School

Hello!  I was born in Indiana, USA, and at age 10, moved to Ontario, Canada.  After school and travel, I attended uni in Wisconsin where I fell in love with Emily, a cute Lismore girl. We married at Bexhill in 2001, and 4 years later our beautiful son Zion was born, followed by sister Heaven.  We live by a small forest in Goonellabah. I commenced at Lismore High School as SRE teacher on St. Valentine's Day, 2007.  

My goal is to tell every student how much God loves them.  I tell them that SRE stands for ‘Spiritually Radical Education’, because the intense, immense love of God is not a message many of them have heard before.

To know that God’s extraordinary love was shown through Jesus, who experienced every human condition we do, opens students’ eyes to a whole new way of thinking about their self worth and what life is all about - relationship with others and ultimately with God.

 “I think SRE might be my favourite class.” Laura, Year 7

“God knows me even when I don't.” Ben, Year 8
