Room 19 Bio

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.
