Simon Bartlett

Bachelor of Teaching (Primary), Diploma in Business Studies

My teaching career began in the Waikato before working in a specialist role in South Auckland. I then spent nine years teaching in the United Arab Emirates before returning back to Aotearoa to work in a Special Education school in Hamilton.

My role at Horizon is Deputy Principal of the Primary School and you will also find me in the classroom with the tamariki. I am committed to raising achievement for all learners by fostering an inclusive and culturally responsive environment that promotes a sense of belonging and acceptance for all.

I live locally with my wonderul wife and our two amazing children. I enjoy skateboarding, experiencing live music, mountain biking, exploring local beaches, and have recently taken up surfing.
