It's all Change (for a year)!

I love being a teacher! Now of course there are those days that I have really needed to dig deep so as to find more positivity in order to continue giving my best. However, the joy of our tamariki being so successful and striving in a such a complex society is absolute gold and more than worthy of the stressful times.  

For the next year I am having a change of role. Now initially, I had a few reservations in regards to coming out of my own classroom, however, on reflection I found that the same joy will definitely be there but on a different scale. Instead of promoting Learn, Create, Share in my own setting, I will be sharing the love of this pedagogy across our Kahui Ako inspiring kaiako and akonga alike to embrace not only the pedagogy but full digital citizenship so that we are all thriving and confident positive communicators online. Same outcome, different journey. Sooo exciting!

So as my journey in life takes a slightly different path, there will be a few tears as I say goodbye to some truly beautiful tamariki in Te Mahuri at Yaldhurst Model School. Their enthusiasm and engagement in learning has been a true joy. Thank you for allowing me to help guide you on your own journeys. Thank you for encouraging me to constantly want to do better so that you get my innovative best so that your enthusiasm and engagement never dimmed. Thank you for simply being you.

So one door closes and another one opens. What am I looking forward to?

- new relationships

- a passionate team

- engagement

- inspiration

- joy

I am packed and ready to go :)
