Ko Whakatohea toku iwi
Ko Keryn toku ingoa

I have very fond memories growing up in the Piako district as a child and I have loved raising my whanau in Morrinsville. I believe our small district has many great things to offer.

I are both highly involved in the sporting community and enjoy seeing children flourish within sports. I have had the pleasure to be involved in Basketball, Netball, Dragon Boating, Waka Ama, Touch rugby and Ballroom Dancing over my years.

I am honoured to be a teacher at Morrinsville Intermediate School as well as working alongside such a dedicated staff.

I look forward to meeting with you all.

In over 20 years of teaching I have taught in schools in Auckland (where I am originally from), Martinborough (South Wairarapa) and Essex (UK).

My inspiration for becoming a teacher stemmed from my three years working for Homes For The Homeless in New York City (U.S.A.) where we took children from the five boroughs and provided them a fun, safe environment to explore the outdoors.

Together with my wife Megan, we have two beautiful daughters.
I look forward to meeting our new families as we work together to create a positive and productive learning environment.

Kia ora,

I was born in Hamilton and raised in Otorohanga and Ahipara before moving to Wellington for university. After that, I lived in Auckland and Cambridge, U.K., before returning to Wellington to begin my teaching journey in 2013. I spent eight years as a relief teacher while raising a young family. In 2022, I moved to Morrinsville with my husband and our two school-aged children, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Wellington, and joined the wonderful team at Morrinsville Intermediate.

I am passionate about teaching at the intermediate level because this age group is incredibly dynamic and full of potential. I love seeing the growth and development that occurs during these years, and I am committed to helping each student achieve their goals and discover their strengths.

In my free time, I enjoy heading to the beach and being actively involved in all my children's activities. Whether it’s cheering them on at various sporting endeavours, helping out with their school events, or riding our bikes around the neighbourhood. I love being a part of their lives and our community.

I am excited to be a part of the Morrinsville Intermediate team and I’m looking forward to meeting you all!

Kia Ora,

My name is Lyndsay Oldham and I am originally from Morrinsville. I gained a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and then a Graduate Diploma of Information Technology in Education.
I taught at Whakatane Intermediate and then spent two years teaching in London and travelling around the UK and Europe.
I have been at Morrinsville Intermediate for about five years in a number of different roles. I love my variety of different teaching roles as I get to know a lot of different students.

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my nephews and I enjoy being out in nature doing bush walks, bike rides and swimming.

I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to meeting you all.

Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Ingarangi me Kōtirana te whakapaparanga mai
Ko Te Aroha te whenua tupu
Nō Heretaunga au
Kei Kirikiriroa au e noho ana
Ko Bailee Foulds tōku ingoa

Kia ora, my name is Bailee!

I was born in Hastings but made the shift to the mighty Waikato when I was four years old. I then grew up in Te Aroha and later attended The University of Waikato where I studied a Bachelor of Teaching and a Bachelor of Arts. I have been a teacher at Morrinsville Intermediate since the beginning of 2018. Over the years I have had many different roles across the school, I love the variety that comes with my diverse position! I currently teach Robotics, release homeroom teachers and am the leader of the specialist team.
