We're proud to see our kaiako Sandra Pringle featured on The University of Waikato page today 🙂 We are fortunate to have her as one of our team, teaching NZ1883 NZ Certificate in English, Level 4 Academic in Christchurch.

Sandra Pringle is showing it’s never too late to keep learning.

After decades of teaching, she returned to study a Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages with the University of Waikato, completing it fully online from Christchurch.

With strong support and a flexible learning environment, Sandra is building her confidence, reconnecting with research, and continuing to make a difference for refugee and migrant learners.

Take a look at her story in the comments ⬇️
