I have been a teacher for over 30 years in countries including New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Malaysia and the Emirates. From 2010 to 2015 I worked as an advisor in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates where I worked in educational systems very different from New Zealand’s. Apart from loving the travel opportunities and the absence of winter, I was reminded just how hard teachers in New Zealand work and how much they nurture the whole child.
I have been teaching now at CPDS for 5 years and I continue to enjoy the diversity and cultural richness our school community is lucky enough to enjoy.
