“B.ED, Higher diploma of Teaching 1984.
Born and educated in Wanganui and completed Teacher Training at Palmerston North teachers College and then Massey University.
I’ve taken a wide range of teaching jobs including Kindergarten in London and Secondary Science and English. The STA Emergency Staffing Scheme brought me to many rural and small schools through out the country, often on short notice and in interesting circumstances.
Hawera Christian School includes the best of family centred rural schooling with positive Christian relationships.  A great place to belong!”

“I live in South Taranaki with my husband and two children. I am a junior teacher.
As a teacher my interests are in literacy, art, gymnastics and environmental issues.  My teaching career has been varied – starting in Auckland with Year 6 and then Year 3, on to the U.K for supply teaching and then a permanent position in a town south of London with a Year 1 class. In 2002 we settled in Taranaki. In recent years I was teaching at Matapu School where I was taking on various roles: Reading Recovery teacher, Maternity Release teacher and a classroom release teacher, and a few temporary positions at Normanby school.
I feel it has been a blessing for me to be able to put my teaching skills into a supportive Christian environment.”

“I started working for Belmont Christian Academy (now Hawera Christian School) as the Principal’s Secretary on the 30th March 2009.  I have been in this position for 10 years.”

“I received my Bachelor of Education (Primary) from Massey University College of Education in 2000. I taught at Waverley Primary School and Carlton School in Wanganui before taking time off to have our children, Alex and Emma. I returned to relief teaching in 2008 and relieved at a number of schools in Wanganui before moving to Hawera in 2012. I continued relief teaching until taking up the position as Principal Release at Hawera Christian School in Term 3 2016. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach at this lovely school.”

“I hold a teacher’s degree from a Russian University. I joined Hawera Christian School as a teacher aide in 2010. Since then I finished a one year certificate course in Teacher Aiding and my role at school broadened in many different ways. In my spare time I do lots of voluntary work in my local church and enjoy good books, crafts, and spending time with my family.”
