Welcome Audrie

We are very pleased to welcome Audrie McKenzie to the LEARNZ Team as the LEARNZ2001 Teacher.

Audrie was previously principal at Ngamatea, a sole charge school situated on the Upper Whangaehu Valley Road, at the southern end of Tongariro National Park.

Audrie successfully applied for a Royal Society of New Zealand, Science, Mathematics & Technology Teacher Fellowship that provides a year's leave for her to work with the LEARNZ Team during 2001.

The students at Ngamatea School have participated virtually in conservation projects in both Fiordland and Tongariro National Parks during LEARNZ99 and LEARNZ2K, so Audrie is well aware of the part she will play in the Learnz programme.
