50 Faces of JESS | Graham Black

7 May, 2026

Graham Black has been part of the JESS family since 2008. From watching his daughter graduate after starting in FS1, to being supported through life’s biggest moments, JESS has shaped him as a teacher, a parent and a person. 

It’s in the trips taken, the challenges embraced, the pride our students carry, and the people who always go the extra mile. Over 18 years on, Graham’s JESS journey is a reminder that the most powerful lessons so often happen beyond the classroom.
