A few weeks ago I decided to pursue my long-term passion for teaching and contacted as many primary schools, including the Rudolf Steiner in Motueka, to try and establish a paid position. I started working at St. Joseph's School in Nelson and have had a brief insight into what it means to be a teacher, confirming in my mind that it is definately what I want to do and I'm eager to learn more about life in the classroom. The Catholic school has some quaint traditional values with a modern approach, and, by working as a teacher-aide, I am learning more than I could ever imagine. The teachers work together and recognise the importance of a strong support team, ending each week with a 'reviver' drink at the pub! It is so fantastic that I have changed my plans and will now stay in New Zealand for a second year of my working-holiday visa, trying to gain as much experience as possible in schools.
