Educators are innovators.

Building respectful, reciprocal connections and service to others underpins my belief in teaching and learning partnerships. Providing an environment and opportunity for students to grow to be aspirational leaders forms my pedagogical approach. Shaping a collective vision where learners can engage positively in society, in turn requires educators who are committed wholeheartedly. To be able to share and support in others journey is an honour. My immense gratitude to mentors, colleagues and students who have placed trust in our relationship where I feel fortunate to walk and learn alongside them each day.

‘Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa‘ Let us keep close together, not wide apart
