Miss Nicholson - Room 16.

Shona Mckenzie —

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.

  • How have you found your first week at Casebrook?

I have loved it! Casebrook is such an amazing school and I am really looking forward to what 2024 has to bring!

  • How long have you been in education for?

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.

  • What are you most looking forward to this year?

I am currently really enjoying getting to know my class and I am looking forward to growing and learning as a teacher alongside my students.

  • What is your favourite subject to teach and why?

I really enjoy teaching literacy and PE. I am a big reader and love my sport!

  • What do you enjoy doing outside of school?

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

  • What is your hidden talent?

I can roll my tongue if that counts! 

We know our community will make her feel welcome!
