I am passionate about the difference LAC makes in the lives of our young people. As a previous boarding student at LAC myself, I am aware of the impact and change LAC can have in the lives of our students. I commenced my teaching studies at Avondale College in Australia and completed my Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) at Waikato University, where I grew up. I began my teaching career at a South Auckland intermediate school and after learning the ropes, rather rapidly, I am now an experienced teacher, having taught since the year 2000, excluding time off to have a family. I have two littlies, who attend the Palmerston North Adventist Christian School (PNACS) and I love to spend time with them. I love their cuddles and cuteness! I get a kick out of spending time with kids. They keep me young and remind me just how amazing God is! I believe that God has blessed us with our nurturing LAC community and that this school belongs to Him. I pray that our kids get a glimpse of Jesus through us as teachers, as we interact with our students and share how much God has done in our own lives. “People see God every day; some just don’t recognise him”. – Pearl Bailey
