Richard Meikle B.Soc.Sci. Dip. Teaching (Secondary)

Currently I am residing in Taranaki with my wife and seven year old daughter. I have taught a wide range of the Social Sciences and enjoy building positive relationships with students through these interesting subjects. With my family we love travel, walking and Farmers Markets. I have participated in coaching youth Ultimate Frisbee and one of my students got to go to represent the New Zealand Under 20 men's team in Poland last year.  I am very much looking forward to teaching and getting to know a whole lot of new people this year.
