BA(hons) Primary Education
Jenny moved to New Zealand, from the UK, in 2017. She had taught for several years as a mainstream Primary School Teacher, and gained valuable experience throughout all of the primary school year groups. Once in New Zealand, Jenny worked as a Kindergarten Teacher before joining Arahunga School, which gave her a wealth of experience and skills in the early childhood sector. This knowledge and experience has been valuable when working with some of her Arahunga students.
Jenny has a smiley face and a warm personality, which makes her very easy to get along with, and helps her students feel safe and happy quickly.
Jenny enjoys working within different schools and educational settings, and adapts her teaching style to suit and work alongside these. Jenny prides herself on having a 'can do' attitude, and always is working to find a solution.
In her spare time, Jenny enjoys spending time with her 3 daughters and husband, doing anything in the fresh air.
