Kia Ora, I am delighted to be joining Glenbrook School and to be teaching in Te Kauri. I am originally from England, where I attended school, university and began my teaching career. Since arriving in New Zealand I have lived in Pukekohe with my husband, Vaughan. I was previously the Dean of Year 4-6 and a Year 5 classroom teacher at St Cuthbert’s College, where I have been teaching for the past six and a half years. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring different parts of New Zealand, and upcycling old furniture. I am passionate about teaching, and enjoy making learning meaningful and fun through cross-curricular experiences. I am excited to get to know the students in Team Tui and I look forward to meeting you all.
