Te Tohu Paetahi Ako: Bachelor of Education - Teaching
The education I received at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi in the Bachelor of Education programme has set me up for a career in teaching, one that I am totally enjoying.
I am currently employed full-time in Gisborne at the Steiner inspired centre The Farmyard for Early Years. I love the Steiner way and believe it aligns to our own Te Ao Māori beliefs regarding Papatūānuku, sustainable living and te taiao. I am the co-ordinator of the preschool room and I also implement the te reo Māori component at the centre and promote learning in the natural environment.
I hope my positive experiences inspire others to take up the challenge and become the best they can be. I certainly did and I am enjoying my chosen career. I am working toward full teacher registration and will one day return to Awanuiārangi to pursue higher qualifications.
