Staff Update - Welcome to Mrs Kruger, Mrs Rothwell-Gibb, Mr Thomas, Mrs Mitchell, and Mrs Wilson
Mrs Kruger
My name is Glencarol Kruger but everyone calls me Glenni. I am from South Africa and have been living in NZ for a year and 5 months. In SA I was a High School teacher for almost 8 years. I absolutely loved teaching Business Studies and Economics. I also taught a little bit of Accounting. My husband and I are extremely into sports and love to run, swim and cycle. You would often see me running through the streets of Timaru and if you do see me, please give a wave when you go past. I have two awesome little ones. A daughter named Ava and my son Hanru. I am really excited and looking forward to be working at OneSchoolGlobal.
Mr Thomas
My name is Regan but the kids know me as Mr. Thomas. I’ve recently moved down from Tauranga to start a new adventure in the South Island. I have a passion for Football, Basketball and Touch Rugby and I love the outdoors. I’ve recently graduated from the University of Waikato with a Bachelors of Education (primary) and I love working with Tamariki. I’m really looking forward to getting to know the OneSchool Global community and am very excited for the year ahead, working in the year 3 to 6 classroom as a Teacher Aide.
Mrs Mitchell
I am excited to be working for One School Global Year 7/8 students in Dunedin. I have had a varied teaching career spanning 35 plus years, teaching in small rural schools in South Auckland, a private school in Karaka and most recently at George Street Normal School in Dunedin.
Mrs Wilson
Kia ora, My name is Lauren Wilson and I am excited to join the OneSchool Global teaching team at the Invercargill campus on a Tuesday in the role of release teacher. I am a born and bred Southlander and have been in education for 15 years. My husband and I live on a small lifestyle block with our 2 children (Pyper who is 6 years old and Fynn who is 17 months). I look forward to meeting many of you over the course of the school year. Ngā mihi, Mrs Lauren Wilson
