In July she will accompany students on their World Challenge adventure to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. We interviewed her to find out all about her experience being a teacher.
What makes a good teacher?
"Someone who is real and honest with young people and not afraid to make mistakes in front of them. Someone who sees each student as an amazing individual with so much to offer, even if their strength does not lie within your own subject. A good teacher is so much more than the subject they teach. It’s someone who encourages students to push a little outside their comfort zone to explore what they are capable of. I want students to be thinkers and learners not just receptacles for information and facts."

Winter is here but that doesn’t mean you have to let the cold-weather blues get you down. Here are 13 things you can do in Auckland no matter how grim it is outside.
Indoor bowling was once viewed as a sedate game played by retirees in members-only clubs, but according to Philip Montgomery, treasurer and longtime member of the Manukau City Indoor Bowling Association, times have changed. “Indoor bowling is not an old person's sport anymore,” he says. … View moreIndoor bowling was once viewed as a sedate game played by retirees in members-only clubs, but according to Philip Montgomery, treasurer and longtime member of the Manukau City Indoor Bowling Association, times have changed. “Indoor bowling is not an old person's sport anymore,” he says. “Increasingly young people are trying their hand at it and discovering the game’s many advantages.”
There is certainly some merit in their view. Currently, more than 300 students are set to participate in the indoor bowls competition for all schools at the AIMS Games to be held in Mount Maunganui from September 10-14, 2018. This will give 11, 12 and 13 year olds an opportunity to compete as an individual or in a team against the best of their age.
Philip, whose parents started indoor bowling at the Holy Cross School more than 55 years ago, is excited by the rising interest in the sport among young people. “This is one of the very few sports the entire family or a group of friends can play together,” he says. “It is therefore very community orientated.”
According to Roberta, it’s not a very strenuous sport but you have to be fit to play. “It’s a physical game that involves a lot of strategy and thinking,” she says.
It’s also very affordable. All equipment is provided at the club and you can show up in flat soled shoes or sneakers. Play starts at 7.30pm in participating clubs and you can choose from several clubs that are convenient. Club membership costs practically nothing and is less than the price of lunch for two people.
The outlook for the sport looks good. There are numerous championships played between local clubs plus Auckland Championships, Representative Games and National Championships are held throughout New Zealand. Players from Holy Cross and St Annes spent Queens Birthday weekend in Christchurch participating at the Catholic Nationals. Players from other local Clubs played at the North Island Championships at Rotorua.
