Bridget Higson
Intervention Teacher
Talofa, my name is Bridget Higson. I have spent the last two years studying Masters papers around how to teach students to be powerful mathematical thinkers. This year, I am excited to show new groups of tamariki how fun and rewarding maths can be. I will also be releasing classroom teachers and am looking forward to building new relationships.
Out of school I am a wedding celebrant and Mum of four where most days you will find me on the sidelines at sports games coaching, managing and cheering! If you see me please come and introduce yourself as I look forward to getting to know everyone.

For 3 days a week I work here at CNS, working with children in small groups to accelerate their literacy abilities, by using evidence based literacy approaches.

Kia ora, my name is Louise and this year I'm lucky enough to be working three days each week in Whārite, releasing classroom teachers. I look forward to working with lots of the same students I got to know last year, and also building new relationships with those I am working with for the first time.
Outside of school I am a mum of three, and enjoy supporting my children in their various music, dance and sporting endeavours. In my spare time I love reading, running, and bush walks.
