PWD All About Me

Kia ora, talofa, malo e lelei, hello.  My name is  Whaea Patsy Wynyard and I teach at Bay of Islands College.  I am lucky enough to have 9T for English AND Health and PE.  I was born in Kawakawa and attended primary and secondary schools in this area until I left to train as a teacher at Waikato University.  I live in Karetu and love our kura.
I have always enjoyed learning new things and appreciate people who know what they are talking about.  I like to umpire and coach netball and the biggest challenge I face is TIME... there just isn't enough of it.
This year I would like to learn how to effectively and efficiently lead our Māori Department and to continue to build my reo proficiency. I must try to be better organised so that I am able to get my work / life balance right.

Nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei taonga

Welcome to our class blog for learning. This is where all of the teachers of 9T will share what's happening throughout the school year in class and with student mahi.
