Miss Monique Shuker shukerm@glenbrook.school.nz	Professional Qualifications:

Kia ora! My name is Monique Shuker, and I’m thrilled to be reconnecting with the Glenbrook School community. I’m certainly no stranger to this wonderful place—I previously taught here for five years and have many fond memories of the students, staff, and families who make this school so special. Outside of the classroom, I’m an avid reader and love getting lost in a good book. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, especially going on hikes and exploring Aotearoa’s beautiful landscapes. Hockey has been a big part of my life for many years, and I still love getting out on the turf whenever I can. My family owns a dairy farm, so I’ve grown up surrounded by cows and understand the value of hard work and teamwork. I still help out on the farm and it continues to teach me the value of responsibility—lessons I carry with me into my teaching. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel throughout Europe, experiencing different cultures, histories, and ways of life. I’m truly excited to be back working in the Glenbrook community and look forward to getting to know all of you better. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead!
