Teacher

Bachelor of Teaching

Hi there, I’m Becki one of Hillcrests mad teachers! I studied at Otago University and Waikato University where I completed a Bachelor of Teaching in 2004. I began as a beginning Teacher at Hillcrest and taught gorgeous year 2’s for 3 years before I entered the new and exciting world of Motherhood. I have a gorgeous girl called Maddi and a handsome wee man called Jackson, both very busy little Toddlers who bring me smiles on a daily basis. As well as looking after these 2 I can be found roaming around the Middle School. I currently job share in Room 12 with Gail Blackwell where we are the two Mrs B’s! I also release one of our gorgeous beginning Teachers, Sarah Exton in Rm 16 on a weekly basis. Over my years at Hillcrest I have been the Sports co –Ordinator, Part of the project Energize and Health & PE team. I had involvement in School Kapa Haka, have coached many sports teams and I am currently coaching 2 of our Year 6 Netball teams. I love being a Sporty Spice myself and play Netball and Touch, run half marathons and did my first ever Triathlon last year. I also adore a good book, socialising and getting away to our fabulous beach place at Waihi beach with my delicious family. My Curriculm strengths are in the Literacies and Arts. Health and PE and Maori. I adore being involved in such a dynamic school, we have Awesome Teachers and Awesome kids. Hillcrest Rocks!
