Henrica joined the Broad Bay team in 2023. She comes to Broad Bay School with a passion for literacy, science, maths and the Enviroschool ethos. She also loves creating art lessons to develop close observation skills and to help develop a pride in their creations.

She has taught for many years and has also been seconded to Facilitator roles to support other teachers’ practice in science, literacy and the NZC.
