By Shona Mckenzie | Posted: Wednesday February 7, 2024

We are lucky enough to have had Miss Meg Lancaster join us in Room 11 this year. We have asked her some questions so we can get to know her better.

  • How have you found your first week at Casebrook?

My first week at Casebrook has been great! It has been wonderful to meet all the amazing students and their whānau! - If you see me around school please do not hesitate to introduce yourself and say hi!

  • How long have you been in education for?

This year is my first official year teaching! I graduated in 2023 and have done a little bit of relieving at other schools since then.

  • Why do you love being a teacher? In education?

I love teaching because no day is ever the same! I also love being able to connect with young people and see/help them grow.

  • What are you most looking forward to this year?

This year I am looking forward to being able to do lots of learning inside and outside of the classroom. The upcoming year 7 trek and surfing trips are going to be a blast and are fantastic opportunities to learn new skills!

  • What is your favourite subject to teach and why?

My favourite subject to teach is literacy - I love to read so being able to study class novels and investigate key themes and ideas is great fun!

  • What do you enjoy doing outside of school?

Outside of school I love hanging out with friends and whānau! I am a sports fan so I am often sitting around with my family watching rugby, cricket or football! I am also a keen dancer and I look forward to getting back into this hobby more this year!

  • What is your hidden talent?

My hidden talent is that I can juggle! I had to learn how to do this in high school and the skill has just stuck with me since then!

We know our community will make her feel welcome!
