Mrs Kristy McCartney   mccartneyk@glenbrook.school.nz	Professional Qualifications: Bachelor of Education – University of Waikato Bachelor of Sport and Leisure Studies – University of Waikato

I grew up in Thames before moving to the Waikato to study a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor Sport and Leisure. My teaching career began in 2014 and I joined Glenbrook School in 2018 when we moved to Waiuku. I have two children who attend Glenbrook School – Elliot, who will be in year 4 and Emily, who will be in year 1. You will often find my family and I riding our bikes, visiting local playgrounds or beaches, and generally enjoying the outdoors.  At the heart of my teaching practice is supporting students to believe in themselves as learners and watching them reach their full potential. It is always a highlight when they realise they have accomplished something challenging.  As we head into another year, I am excited to lead Team Piwakawaka once again. Together, we will foster confidence and nurture a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
