Kia ora, ko Veronica Donaldson tōku ingoa.

Most of my teaching journey has been with older students. These formative years are filled with curiosity, growth, and the development of independence, and I am passionate about helping students take ownership of their learning journeys. Essential traits I aim to foster are resilience, independence, and accountability.

I believe learning should take place in a warm, friendly, and supportive environment, and my classroom embodies these values. I strive to create an inclusive space where every student feels valued, safe, and inspired to take risks in their learning.

Outside the classroom, I am a parent of four. My daughter is studying a Biomedical degree at the University of Auckland, two of my sons are at Rangitoto College, and my youngest son is in year eight. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, swimming, and horse riding.

I look forward to getting to know you and your child, and I am excited about the year ahead.
