Kia ora koutou,

Kō Ngati Ruatakena te hapū
Ko Whakatohea toku iwi

I have very fond memories growing up in the Piako district as a child and I have loved raising my whanau in Morrinsville. I believe our small district has many great things to offer.

I are both highly involved in the sporting community and enjoy seeing children flourish within sports. I have had the pleasure to be involved in Basketball, Netball, Dragon Boating, Waka Ama, Touch rugby and Ballroom Dancing over my years.

I am honoured to be a teacher at Morrinsville Intermediate School as well as working alongside such a dedicated staff.

I look forward to meeting with you all.

General Information

Across my nearly 21 years of teaching I have taught in schools in Auckland (where I am originally from), Martinborough (South Wairarapa) and Essex (UK).

My inspiration for becoming a teacher stemmed from my three years working for Homes For The Homeless in New York City (U.S.A.) where we took children from the five boroughs and provided them a fun, safe environment to explore the outdoors.

Together with my wife Megan, we have two beautiful daughters.
I look forward to meeting our new families as we work together to create a positive and productive learning environment.

General Information

Kia Ora,

My name is Lyndsay Oldham and I am originally from Morrinsville. I gained a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and then a Graduate Diploma of Information Technology in Education.
I taught at Whakatane Intermediate and then spent two years teaching in London and travelling around the UK and Europe.
I have been at Morrinsville Intermediate for about five years in a number of different roles. I love my variety of different teaching roles as I get to know a lot of different students.

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my nephews and I enjoy being out in nature doing bush walks, bike rides and swimming.

I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to meeting you all.

Kia ora, my name is Bailee!

I was born in Hastings but made the shift to the mighty Waikato when I was four years old. I then grew up in Te Aroha and later attended The University of Waikato where I studied a Bachelor of Teaching and a Bachelor of Arts. I have been a teacher at Morrinsville Intermediate since the beginning of 2018. Over the years I have had many different roles across the school, I love the variety that comes with my diverse position! I currently teach Robotics, release homeroom teachers and am the leader of the specialist team.
