Frau rises to challenge to winning teaching award

Reporter Community News

Running a school’s international programme during a global pandemic, while moving to teaching online as New Zealand went into lockdown, was no easy task.
But it was one Wellington teacher Caroline Robertson rose to.
Robertson, a German teacher and director of international students at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, won the inaugural ASG Parents’ Award at the National Excellence in Teaching Awards, held virtually on Tuesday night.
Robertson, known to her students (and some parents) affectionately as Frau, said she felt humbled, and a bit overwhelmed, to have received the award.
