My name is Amie Roberts and I am an RTLB with Cluster 28 in Wellington.
I am married to Aaron and have 3 gorgeous kids, Jake, Leah and Abby. Rounding out our family is a dog called Gray and a rabbit called Sammie.
I am passionate about equity in education and ensuring all tamariki and whānau have their voices heard. I enjoy working with teachers supporting them to develop more equitable classrooms. I get a real buzz when teachers, students and parents get excited about the progress that is often made when we tweak the classroom programme. Super exciting stuff.
I am looking forward to this study as I'm always keen to learn more and deepen my understanding. Getting to practice and use this knowledge every day on the job means the learning is so relevant and practical. Can't wait to get started.
Ngā mihi

I have recently been appointed as an RTLB. My husband and I are living at Waihi Beach but now I live in Hamilton during the week. So I am lucky to live in two beautiful parts of our motu!
It is great to be back in 'the tron' after 8 1/2 years, reconnecting with our son and fiance who live here and the friends that we made here in the 20 years we lived here.
I am doing this course as it is important to keep up to date with current thinking in regards to education so that I am better equipped to make a difference in the lives of the tamarki I work with and I do love learning new things!

We are rurally located and accessing services can be so difficult. I am super excited to continue my learning journey. Ngā mihi, Maggie.
