I am sure that most of you are aware by now that I have been terminated from my role at RBS as is required under the COVID-19 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Order 2021. This is why I am not teaching at Rangiora Borough School this year.

Sometimes in life you have to make difficult decisions. I have cried many tears and had many sleepless nights making this decision. I have feared losing my job. But in my heart, I know that this is the right thing for me to do, and I cannot go against what is right for me. It was by far the scariest thing I’ve ever done. My husband is also a teacher. We have 3 children.

I love teaching and it has been my life, love and passion for 26 years. This is never the way I thought I would leave teaching. 

I want you to know that I haven’t made this decision lightly, I will miss you all. And I hope that going forward, you will respect your peers and others in the community, regardless of their medical choices, as we are all in this together, and we can only make the world a better place if we support one another.
