“I have been teaching in Taranaki for over 20 years and still find great joy in helping children to learn new things. I am an active member of Belmont Church where my family and I attend regularly. ‘Christ is the centre of everything we do’ is at the core of our school and of my personal life. This school is a wonderful place to be a part of and know that the children are getting Christ centred learning in everything we do!”

“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 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.”
