Mary Simmons, BTL (ECE)

Kia ora koutou.

Children can be anyone or anything by creating imaginary play spaces and roles. It is a privilege to be invited to participate in their world. When not working at The Ole Schoolhouse my personal interests include Op shopping, fishing, parrot rearing, furniture restoration, gardening and experimentation with compost. “Your mother is growing bookworms!” states my long suffering husband to our adult twin sons.

I am a qualified fully registered teacher with a passion for learning facilitation. I have been working within the early childhood, primary and tertiary education sectors since 1975.
