I am thrilled to be the newest member of the Clevedon School community. Teaching has always been a vocation for me and I consider myself blessed to be able to earn my living doing something that I love so much. I am passionately committed to creating a nurturing learning environment in which students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and become the best that they can be. Originally from South Africa, I have taught in a number of schools in New Zealand, mostly in Year 5/6 classes. Now that my children are older, my husband and I enjoy travelling around this beautiful country of Aotearoa in our motorhome whenever we can.
