Erika Ramsay - Technology Teacher.    

My name is Erika Ramsay and I am excited to be joining the OAS whanau in Term 3. I come to Oxford with over 20 years of classroom experience behind me.

I have worked in a range of settings over this time, but mostly in semi-rural schools and colleges in Australia. Most recently I was working at a small boarding college for students ages 3.5 through to the end of high school. Whilst there I taught a variety of subjects, but my passion lies with Food Technology and Textiles and this is the role I will be undertaking at OAS.

I am originally from Christchurch and returned here prior to the Covid situation last year. In between I have spent time in both Australia and England teaching.

I have a passion for anything Textiles based, and most nights I'll be engaged in something to do with sewing, it's my main down time activity.

I am super excited to be joining the team this term and becoming part of the community.

Yours in learning

Erika

Welcome to …..

Eamonn Lowe - Health & PE Teacher

Hey! My name is Eamonn Lowe and I am absolutely stoked to be joining Oxford Area School. I will be teaching a combination of Physical Education, Health, and Outdoor Education (Years 7 - 13). I love finding a way for everyone to enjoy and learn through movement, and with Outdoor Education, I strive for all students to connect with and value our wild places. 

In my spare time I’m in the hills either mountain biking, tramping, or skiing, and at the moment the main focus is sharing this with my children (3 year old and 8 year old). I can’t wait to meet everyone in Term 3.
