A Happy, Global Individual

Published September 15, 2024 − Brief student news staff bios are below the article

      Kingsley Ennis, known at RPIS as Teacher Kingsley, is a member of the RPIS faculty. He has worked in many countries: Australia, China, and the USA among others. He has seen the world from many points of view, and brings a wealth of experiences and cultural perspectives to his RPIS High School class discussions.

         
      He was born into a family of eight children in Belair, Australia, a part of Adelaide. His father brought him up with a strong interest in health, exercise and vegetarian food. For example, his father taught him about vitamin B, which he calls his “ happy tablet,” and about the technique for mental development which everyone at RPIS enjoys. 

      His interest in business and teaching helped him travel globally. His desire to see the world was sparked when listening to recordings of motivational speakers from far away places during drives to school with his father. His passion for business led him to pursue wonderful opportunities, and resulted in a few business world tours. His endeavors included working for global singing star Olivia Newton-John’s health company

        His academic preparation includes a broad array of advanced learning including an MA in Economics and Certification as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language. Other aspects of Teacher Kingsley’s life include being part of a lifesaving surf team and being a certified fitness instructor. He loves walking everywhere he can – to stay active.

      Already in his 1st month at RPIS, our students find Teacher Kingsley helpful, happy and friendly, as did his students at Xiamen University in China where he taught for a number of years.

      His top recommendations: you need to travel; you need to be open-minded; you need to love people. You need to look for the beauty in every country. You are responsible for your life, and also for helping others fulfill their desires in life. Even with all these goals, he concludes that in his own life “family is the most important.”
