Sylvia Parke Originally from Ireland, Sylvia has been living in New Zealand for the past 15 years. Her husband, Tony, is a Kiwi and works as a plumber and gasfitter in Ellerslie. Sylvia has an Honours degree in Environmental Science and a Grad Dip. in Primary Teaching, teaching at St Joseph's Schools in Otahuhu for five years. After seeing how excited her students used to get before and during a visit to the Life Ed classroom, and how the messages taught resonated with the children long after their visit, she knew this was something she wanted to be a part of in the future. "I feel very privileged to have been chosen as an Educator for Central Auckland and I can’t wait to meet the children and teachers in this area and get to know Harold better, of course.” |

Lara Jansen van Vuuren As an educator with 18 years of experience both in New Zealand and abroad, I am deeply passionate about inspiring young minds and fostering a love for learning. I am thrilled to work with Harold and the Life Education Trust, where I am privileged to empower children to stand tall and celebrate their uniqueness. As a mom to two sporty boys, I understand the importance of valuing whānau time. Life is about making memories, and I strive to bring that same sense of joy and connection into the classroom. Living close to the beach, I find inspiration in weekend walks along the seaside, which fuels my creativity and enthusiasm for teaching. I look forward to teaching and inspiring the next generation. |
