This year, the University celebrates five winners across two colleges; the College of Science and the College of Education, Health and Human Development.

“The winners of UC’s teaching awards are educators who’ve been recognised as engaging and unique, with the ability to promote effective learning to their students,” says Deputy Vice- Chancellor (Academic) Professor Catherine Moran.

“I’m thrilled with the positive influence they’ve made on the teaching culture at UC, and the professional development of their colleagues.”

Kay-Lee Jones of the School of Teacher Education has helped nurture a love for te reo Māori in over 2,000 student teachers at UC. These graduates now share their skills in schools across Aotearoa New Zealand, normalising Māori language and culture in education every day.
