Peter Atkinson is an amazing biology teacher, and a fantastic ally to have at Oak Bay High. I took Biology 11 in Atkinson's class, and it was by far my favourite science course of that year. Atkinson provides ample notes and information in a way that is acessible to all students, and follows it up with a great sense of humor and general likeability. I learned so much in his class, and even though I didn't have any classes with him in grade 12, he still said hi to me in the hallway everytime I passed his classroom. Biology with Atkinson is such a fun class, and if you see his name on your course list, be happy! The course requires studying, sure, but it's a fantastic community so have fun!!
