Welcome Maria
For Term Three, we welcome Maria Rockell as our new teacher in the Christchurch and Lincoln Units. Maria is a passionate, fun and curious teacher who loves the quirky sense of humour of our gifted kids and their unique perspectives on everything around them. Maria brings a wonderfully diverse set of experiences to our students: her first degree was in architecture, she's worked as a chef, and she is now completing her Masters in Teaching.
Her most recent personal achievements include hiking the South Island section of the Te Araraoa Trail, completing an ultramarathon and learning to play the guitar. We wish Susan Hawkins and Melissa Jones who finished this week all the very best with their next challenges.]
