Miss Robin has won an Area School Teachers Study award.

For the last 2 years I have been doing my Masters of Education at Waikato University while continuing to teach.  I am fortunate to have received a TeachNZ Area School Teachers' Study Award for the upcoming year, which provides me with the opportunity to dedicate the first half of next year exclusively to my dissertation and complete my Masters.

The Teach NZ Area School Study Award:

• Each year there are seven full-time teacher equivalent (FTTE) study leave opportunities, with two study awards reserved for pursuing studies in te reo Māori or Māori immersion learning.
• The Area School Teachers' Study Award provides paid leave to complete part-time or full-time study in an agreed educational priority area.
