Prior to her role here at Burnham Pauline was the Deputy Principal of a large full primary school in Christchurch. She has taught in 9 schools over the last 20 years in both the North and South Island of New Zealand. In her spare time, Pauline enjoys painting and gardening as well as multi-day tramping and travelling. She is married to Mark and has a 19-year-old daughter, Saskia who is training to be a nurse.
