The month of July is welcomed by a fantastic new monthly graphic on the Teach Starter homepage. This month’s graphic has been created by the incredibly talented designer – John Causley in recognition of NAIDOC week.
John has been working with Teach Starter since March 2017!
Here’s his amazing work…
John’s Story
John grew up in the small town of Maclean in NSW. His first paying job was stacking fruit and veg on the shelf at the local IGA.
Before commencing at Teach Starter as a graphic designer, John worked in a variety of organisations including, community support (disability) and office admin in a law firm! John then decided to study Creative Arts with a major in Graphic Design at University.
When John set out looking for a design job, he wanted to work in either health or education because he wanted to make a positive contribution to the world.
“I think Teach Starter was the perfect fit for me, and I like that we are all working together to create something that assists teachers, and in turn helps children to get a better education.”
When John isn’t creating amazing designs that end up in your classroom, he enjoys cooking, playing golf, and spending time with family and friends.
Let’s Play a Game
We thought we’d have some fun and play two truths and a lie about John!
- His year one teacher told his mum he’d probably end up doing something creative when he grew up.
- At the age of 2, he was in the 1989 Australian TV series ‘Fields of Fire’.
- The only goal he has ever scored in a game of soccer was for the opposition.

Drum roll…
(1) My year one teacher told my mum I’d probably end up doing something creative when I grew up.
This is true! His teacher was absolutely right…
(2) At the age of 2, I was in the 1989 Australian TV series ‘Fields of Fire’.
This is false! He was offered the part, but when presented with the opportunity, he cried and requested to be taken home. His first real acting role was playing a donkey in his second grade primary school nativity play.
(3) The only goal I have ever scored in a game of Soccer was for the opposition.
This is also true, no one told him that after half time the teams change ends!
