I'm Whaea Lorraine and I am looking forward to re-joining the whānau at Lincoln Heights - I previously worked here as Kaiāwhina and have worked in several other sectors including higher education. Some of my interests are art, music, health and fitness and current affairs. From a solid foundation in literacy and maths, I hope to engage students in practical inquiry with science and history. Born in Scotland I have lived in Auckland for 28 years. My own (blended) whānau is pretty much grown up and but I still love caring for them, cooking for them and listening to their concerns. I am excited to be able to share my passion for all kinds of learning with the ākonga this year.
