Mr. Goldthorpe and his physics 20 changed my life in my grade 11 year. I graduated in 2020 for context. Because of him, I knew I had the potential to challenge engineering. His class was difficult, but he was engaging, funny, and made physics fascinating.

Make sure you keep revising, especially for his labs. His tests and labs are very fair but they are difficult. Overall, he is one of the best teachers I have ever had. UTILISE BONUS MARKS!!
Class of 2022

Mr. Goldthorpe was my best teacher in High School. He is very passionate about the material and his classes are very intense. There is no downtime and he is always either teaching or having you do activities.

This was my favourite class the entire time I had it. I thrive in competitive and entertaining environments and always felt productive because we worked hard the entire class. Absolutely amazing, sparked a real passion for physics in me.
