Burnett Bakker

Teacher Year 4-5, Reading Recovery

National Diploma Public Relations, Post Graduate Certificate in Education (Primary School).

I am originally from South Africa and moved to New Zealand last year (2021). I originally studied Public Relations and worked for a Multichoice Television Channel doing their PR. My husband and I moved to London in 2000 and lived there for 7 years where I had two of my three children. I worked in finance for an American Investment Bank until we moved back to SA in 2007. I then had our third child and decided to change careers. The owner of the school where my son and daughter were enrolled started a Social Skills program and I ran it for 13 years. I fell in love with seeing how children grow with guidance and love, resulting in me doing a postgrad in Primary Education.

I currently work in collaboration with Mr. Bartlett in Room 8 and I'm training to be a reading recovery teacher. I really enjoy seeing progress, understanding, and building trust with students. I love being a part of the two teams I'm currently with. In a short space of time, they have taught me so much!

I feel blessed and privileged to be chosen to join the talented team at Horizon. I agree with my colleagues there is an incredible feeling of love and support at this beautiful school and it is truly a very special place.

COME AND BOOK A TRY DAY

It is hard to know how much there is to love about Horizon until you spend time with us.

We find that once learners have visited our friendly environment, they usually want to stay! Book a Try Day for your child or young person and they can come for a day in the class.
