Tēnā Koutou katoa

Ko Maungatiri te maunga

Ko Waimakariri te awa

Ko McDonald tōku hapū

Ko Scottish toku iwi

Ko warren toku Papa ko Paula toku mama

No Ōtautahi ahau

Engari e noho ana ahau i Rangiora inaianei

He kaiako ahau i te kura tuarua O Rangiora

He Kaiako matua hoki i te Kāhui Ako o Puketeraki

Ko Paula McDonald toku ingoa

Kia Ora.
I am Paula McDonald and I am a teacher and Head of Faculty - Business at Rangiora High School. I have been teaching over 23 years, and my teaching career has centred around sharing my love of Commerce and Business with the students at Rangiora High School.

This year I am working within the Kahui Ako at Rangiora High School focussing on both Positive Behaviour for Learning and also working with our Kia Eke Panuku team on Cultural Responsive and Relational Pedagogy.

I have lived in the Canterbury area my entire life, and moved to North Canterbury post-earthquakes in 2013.

I am excited to work with teachers for the benefit of our tamariki within our Kahui Ako..
Nga mihi nui.
