Joe Haddon

This is Mr Haddon’s 4th year at Nelson College, after teaching in the UK, and at Kāpiti College. He has taught electronics, junior science, senior biology and senior physics. He’s definitely a can-do type of man as well as being keen on kayaking, biking and tramping, or just getting outdoors for a few deep breaths. As a first-time Dean, he’s really looking forward to meeting the families and students who will join us in 2020.
