Emma Thorpe —

This is my second year working at Lincoln Primary School. We moved up to Lincoln from Dunedin at the end of 2023 to be closer to family.

I feel very lucky to work with Tanya in a collaborative team in Kereū for 2024.

I have taught across both primary and early childhood sectors. I enjoy creating fun, creative and challenging learning experiences for children. I aim to provide an environment where children feel safe, have a sense of belonging and are supported to be curious risk takers.

I am married to Chris and we have 4 children, 2 which are currently at Lincoln Primary and 2 who attend Lincoln High School. Out of school I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, photography and keeping on top of a busy household.
