Kathryn McKie, Teacher

I am so excited to be part of the teaching team here at Kingsview School this year.
I originally trained to be a teacher 9 years ago in the UK and I taught in a Special School for Children with Autism. Four years ago I moved to New Zealand and decided to have a break from teaching. However during that time I realised how much I actually love teaching and that there is nothing else I would rather be doing!

Last year I worked at Shotover Primary School and I am very grateful for all that I learnt whilst there. I gained experience in Student Led learning and saw how valuable it can be in enhancing a child’s learning when used in the right context. I am looking forward to being able to use this experience here at KIngsview, particularly when it comes to teaching Inquiry.

I am a Christian and I grew up in a Christian home. My Faith is a massive part of my life and I feel privileged that I am now able to share my Faith with the students I teach.

When I am not at school I love being out in nature exploring all the beauty Queenstown has to offer. I also go to C3 Church and I help lead the Combined Churches Youth Group for High Schoolers, which is a lot of fun!
