I’m joining Middleton this year in the Sports Department as Assistant Head of Sport, assisting in the primary school. I’m also a qualified Nutritionist, passionate around sports nutrition but also overall health. As a previous student at Middleton, I’m excited to see how the school runs from the staff side, and am already so excited to see the passion and faith all the other teachers have. I’m currently attending St Johns Anglican Church and help with a community youth group in the Mairehau area there. I’m one of four children, 2 sisters and a brother and am also recently married. I love all things sport, but am particularly keen on dance which I competed in for many years and netball. I’m so excited to see what Middleton has in store for me, and look forward to working alongside great men and women of God.

Hi. I’m am pleased to join Middleton Grange this year as an Administration Assistant. I'm a born and bred true one-eyed Cantabrian who loves being a Crusaders and Canterbury rugby supporter despite my boys choosing to play soccer over rugby. I married my high school sweetheart Chris 21 years ago and we have three boys Ethan, Hunter and Braxton aged 12, 6 and 5 and a little girl Peyton who is 3.  I have called Rutland Street Church my church family for 22 years, and love being part of the team that heads up our Women’s Group “Cherish”. I love playing indoor netball, holidaying with my family and generally socializing with friends and family. I enjoy quilting, sewing, baking and creating amazing cakes for my friends and family. I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new people and seeing what God has planned for me here at Middleton Grange School in 2018.
