We are lucky enough to have had Miss Aleshia Nicholson join us in Room 16 this year. We have asked her some questions so we can get to know her better.

This is my first year teaching! I graduated in 2022 and spent last year relieving in different schools around Christchurch.

• Why do you love being a teacher? In education?

I love watching kids succeed in their learning, and helping guide them to be the best person they can be.

Anything to do with sport, I love playing and coaching netball. Also spending time with my family!
