General Information

Kia Ora
My name is Belinda Duncan. I am passionate about providing students with opportunities to explore their artistic potential and discover the joy of music and dance. It brings me immense joy to create a safe and supportive environment for the children where they feel confident and inspired.

Having lived here all my life, I have strong hononga to our community and am a past student of Morrinsville Intermediate myself. After schooling, I pursued a bachelor's degree in teaching from Waikato University.

Over the years, I have taught in several kura around our community, including Tauwhare, Springdale, Tahuna and Motumaoho Schools. I have developed skills in creating engaging and age-appropriate performing arts lessons that are entertaining and educational, catering to children of all abilities.

My interest in teaching traditional dances, such as folk and social dances, along with contemporary dances, has further fueled my passion for teaching. Besides being a teacher, I run my own business, Wildflower Education, as a private tutor. In addition, I am a Marriage celebrant, foster carer, and a proud mother of two children.
