I worked at Kelly Club with before, after school and holiday programme care. I worked closely with the Heart Foundation in 2017 to organise and co-ordinate the Jump rope for buddies programme. I have coached netball for the last couple of years down in Dunedin at Tahuna Intermediate (with a close second place) and also did Future Ferns with Dunedin Netball.

Im most looking forward to teach students and see the spark when they understand something as I believe that it is something special. I currently would like to teach intermediate children, but would be happy with a younger group.

I am enthusiastic to work with the young ones around Years 1 & 2. I have young children myself and I'm really interested to learn more about how they learn. I've had previous teaching experience overseas across different age groups, but this is a new context for me and I'm passionate about learning to teach the "New Zealand" way.

Experience - Teaching music (various instruments) in schools in Auckland and Dunedin. Dunedin schools are KV, OGs', Columba and Balmacewen. Also at Saturday Morning Music Classes. Taught at an after school music and social programme Sistema in Otara, South Auckland. Love finding out how kids learn and the best way to teach each child. Developing musical literacy. Using a holistic approach overall to education and developing a growth mindset in kids! Giving out energy and passion to the class! I want to eventually work with all age groups, but leaning towards older age group? Went to George St., Wakari and Balmac as a child. Extended family at Mornington Primary. :)

My name is Tom, pronounced like the start of ‘tomato’ but with a capital T. Maybe Tomato should have a capital T too.
I grew up in Hawkes Bay but this year is my 10th year in Dunedin, so know a few tricks.
My parents and sister and Aunty are secondary school teachers. I have worked in after school care in Dunedin, as an alcohol and drugs youth mentor and as a mentor on Te TaiTimu trust kaupapa Maori water safety suicide prevention leadership camp and Na Kilo ‘Āina kids camp in Hawaii.
I am pretty open minded about who to teach. Getting the whole community all ages involved would be cool. Probably imagine working with older kids in the end though. The year 7 time where they are in a new place new start could be a cool time to jump in and share!
Mauri ora all you legends! Karawhiua! Go us

I graduated in 2016 in a BA of Sociology, Criminology and Gender Studies which is great because I love discussions and opinions of how to better our world. I am big on feminism and equality between all people. :)

My experience with children: Worked as a youth mentor for Rock Solid programme in Dunedin 2016-17. I was also a junior councillor for 11 year old children for a month summer camp 2014. Was the youth group leader of Leith Valley Church and of Easters Camp in Dunedin 2014-17.

Preferred year group: Intermediates (but I say that because they are the only year group I have had experience with before. I think it will be interesting to try other year groups too to see what suits me [and them!] the best)

P.S. I am in the process of getting a car- but at the moment am on the bus, so a far away placement is less preferred.

P.P.S. My primary (Discovery 1) was an inquiry based learning school- so I have understanding and experience about alternative classrooms (or as we said- home bases!!) and schools. :-)

I have grown up in Dunedin and lived here all my life, apart from a brief stint on exchange in Montreal. I went to Kaikorai primary, Balmacewen intermediate and Otago Boys which I all thoroughly enjoyed. I am really keen to teach the intermediate age group (year 7,8). I am a keen sports player, especially soccer and tennis. I have had experience coaching children between the ages of 5 and 12 at Balmacewen tennis club. I was also part of the student volunteer program last year through the university where I helped out doing the homework club at the corstophine community centre, which i thoroughly enjoyed. I also helped out doing the reading oasis program with kids at Carisbrook at the end of last year. I also have about 24 cousins younger than me on my mothers side, so have had a lot of experience doing things with them.

Hello. My name is Anya. I am one of those people that are afraid of the intermediate kids... I feel like they will eat me alive (haha). I think I would be happy in virtually any primary age classroom, except new entrants.
Experience with children: I have worked with children of multiple ages in learning settings, such as running workshops, both educational and for fun. I am really looking forward to gaining classroom skills, such as classroom management and dialogue to engage the children.

Here is a picture of me and my fur baby  - Fin the pug.
