My name is Paula McMullen. After spending a long time teaching and living in Auckland and overseas, I am now back in my home town! It is hard to believe I have been teaching at Te Rapa for two years now. I often think where the time has gone!
I have spent most of my career teaching Year 7 and 8 which is a year group I really enjoy. This time of the students lives is full of change and challenges so patience and acceptance is called for. I continually aim to empower all students so they can make a choice within specific boundaries.
This year is a fitness year for me. I am presently walking for 'Move your Butt' for bowel cancer and I hope to raise about $300. Over the course of the year I want to get my walking fitness up and participate in as many events as I can.

An update...I managed to walk 76km for bowel cancer during February. I love the challenge of having key fitness goals!
My next goal is to walk regularly regardless of the weather over the winter months!
